Newton 242

Tune: B. P. Poyner, 1902
Lyrics: Isaac Watts, 1707
Meter: Long Meter Double (8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8)
When 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 Lord;
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood.
