Sunday seems like a perfect day to post favorite hymns during my 31 Days of Killer Quotes series. Read slowly and meditate upon these beautiful lyrics.
When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
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 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?
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.
~Isaac Watts, 1674-1748
Wishing you a blessed week!

Emily, thank you! It’s fun to do, too. 🙂
Howdy outstanding website! Does running a blog similar
to this take a lot of work? I have no knowledge of coding however I
had been hoping to start my own blog soon. Anyway, if you have any recommendations or tips for new blog
owners please share. I know this is off subject nevertheless I simply needed to ask.
Appreciate it!
