When I Survey The Wondrous Cross
Sidney Mohede Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On which the Prince of Glory died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride
See from His head, His hands, His feet
So much sorrow and love flow mingled down
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet
Were this whole realm of nature mine
That were a present far too small
Love so amazing, so divine
Demands my soul, my life, my all
My life, my soul, my all
The song "When I Survey The Wondrous Cross" by Sidney Mohede feat. Andi Riyanto is a prayerful reflection on the crucifixion of Jesus. The opening line expresses the awe and wonder felt by the singer when contemplating the cross on which Jesus died. The Prince of Glory refers to Jesus, who is recognized as royalty in the Christian faith. The next line speaks of the singer's perspective on wealth and status, acknowledging that compared to the value of knowing Christ, all earthly gains are worthless. The singer is humbled by this realization and seeks to put aside any arrogance or pride they may have.
In the following lines, the song delves into the physical torments suffered by Jesus during his crucifixion. The image of sorrow and love mingled down from His head, hands, and feet is a poetic reference to the wounds inflicted upon him. The line questions whether such a display of love and agony has ever been witnessed before, with the mention of thorns in a crown bringing to mind the distinctive mockery and suffering inflicted upon Jesus before His death.
The final lines of the song are a call to action for anyone who believes in the message of the cross. The singer acknowledges the limitless love and grace of God and states that it demands their life, soul, and all of their being. The song is a powerful reminder for Christians to be grateful for the sacrifice of Jesus and to live their lives in service to His teachings.

When I survey the wondrous cross
As I look upon the remarkable cross
On which the Prince of Glory died
Where the royal and divine died
My richest gain I count but loss
My most valuable profit is actually a defeat
And pour contempt on all my pride
And disdain my haughtiness
See from His head, His hands, His feet
Observe His head, hands, and feet
So much sorrow and love flow mingled down
So much sadness and affection flow mixed together
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet
Has there ever been so much love and sadness together?
Or thorns compose so rich, so rich a crown
Or have thorns created such an extravagant crown?
Were this whole realm of nature mine
If I owned the entire natural world
That were a present far too small
It would still be an inadequate gift
Love so amazing, so divine
This amazing, divine love
Demands my soul, my life, my all
Commands my whole being: soul, life, everything

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.

我每恩念十字寶架 -------WHEN I SURVEY THE WONDROUS CROSS
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcChJHCvf2I
我 每 思 念 十 字 寶 架，
wo mei si nian shi zi bao jia
並 主 如 何 在 上 懸 掛，
bing zhu ru he zai shang xuan gua
我 就 不 禁 渾 忘 身 家，
wo jiu bu jin hun wang shen jia
鄙 視 從 前 所 有 驕 傲。
bi shi cong qian suo you jiao ao
To despise my past pride
願 主 禁 我 別 有 所 誇，
yuan zhu jin wo bie you suo kua
除 了 基 督 的 十 字 架；
chu le ji du de shi zi jia
前 所 珍 愛 虛 空 榮 華，
qian suo zhen ai xu kong rong hua
今 為 祂 血 情 願 丟 下。
jin wei ta xue qing yuan diu xia
看 從 祂 頭，祂 腳，祂 手，
kan cong ta tou ta jiao ta shou
憂 情 慈 愛 和 血 而 流；
you qing ci ai he xue er liu
那有愛憂如此相遘，
荊棘編成如此冕旒？
假若宇宙都歸我有，
盡獻於主仍覺不夠；
愛既如此奇妙深厚，
當得我心，我命，所有。
