Thread Name: Lyr Req: Psalms sung to 'The Water is Wide'
Subject: RE: The Water is Wide - alternate lyrics
I know this is a really old thread now, but in case anyone else is reading it, you can also set "When I survey the Wond'rous cross" to this tune:
When I survey the wond'rous Cross On which the Prince of Glory Died My richest gain I count but loss And pour contempt on all my pride
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast Save in the death of Christ my God All the vain things that charm me most I scarfice them to His blood
See from his head, his hands, his feet Sorrow and Love flow mingled down Did e'er such love and sorrow meet or thorns compose so rich a crown
Were the whole realm of nature mine That were an off'ring far too small Love so amazing, so divine Demands my soul, my life, my all
hope someone finds that helpful - personal favourite of mine.
