HYMN 7, L. M.
Crucifixion to the world by the cross of Christ.
Galatians vi. 14
by Isaac Watts (1674-1748)

hen I survey the wondrous 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 sacrifice 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!

[His dying crimson, like a robe,
Spreads o’er his body on the tree:
Then am I dead to all the globe,
And all the globe is dead to me.]

Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.

—from The Psalms & Hymns of Isaac Watts. Hymns and Spiritual Songs. Book III: Prepared for the Holy Ordinance of the Lord's Supper

salme 2
(Geneva Bible)

1 Why doe the heathen rage, & the people murmure in vaine?
2 The Kings of the earth band themselues, and the princes are assembled together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
3 Let vs breake their bands, and cast their cordes from vs.
4 But he that dwelleth in the heauen, shall laugh: the Lord shall haue them in derision.
5 Then shall hee speake vnto them in his wrath, & vexe them in his sore displeasure, saying,
6 Euen I haue set my King vpon Zion mine holy mountaine.
7 I will declare the decree: that is, the Lord hath said vnto me, Thou art my Sonne: this day haue I begotten thee.
8 Aske of me, and I shall giue thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the endes of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt krush them with a scepter of yron, and breake them in pieces like a potters vessell.
10 Be wise nowe therefore, ye Kings: be learned ye Iudges of the earth.
11 Serue the Lorde in feare, and reioyce in trembling.
12 Kisse the sonne, least he be angry, and ye perish in the way, when his wrath shall suddenly burne. blessed are all that trust in him.
