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 EVER SUCH LOVE AND SORROW MEET,
OR THORNS COMPOSE SO RICH A CROWN?

WERE  THE WHOLE REALM OF NATURE MINE,
THAT WERE AN OFFERING FAR TOO SMALL;
LOVE SO AMAZING , SO DIVINE,
DEMANDS MY SOUL , MY LIFE, MY ALL.

BE  BRIDGE  BETWEEN  HUMAN KINDS,
NEVER BECOME KNIVES  TO DESTROY HUMAN KINDS,

BE BRIDGE BETWEEN TWO NATIONS,
NEVER BECOME WARRIOR TO DESTROY THE NATIONS.

BE BRIDGE BETWEEN  TWO LOVERS
NEVER  BE   THIRD  TRIANGLE  OF TWO LOVERS,

BE   BRIDGE  BETWEEN  TWO  LEADERS
NEVER  DO  BAD  POLITICS  TO  DESTROY  EACH OTHER.

BE  BRIDGE  BETWEEN TO RIVERS,
NEVER  DESTROY BRIDGE FOR YOUR CRUEL INTENTIONS.

BE  BRIDGE  BETWEEN  MAN  AND  WOMEN,
NEVER  COMPETE  TO OVERTAKE EACH OTHER,

BE  BRIDGE  BETWEEN  GOOD AND BAD,
NEVER  BE FRIENDS OF ADULTERY.

WHERE OUR LOVE IS LOST .
WHERE WE ARE LOST,
WHERE IS HUMANITY LOST,
WHERE WE ARE GOING,
WHERE IS WORLD LOST THEIR MINDS,
WHERE IS YOUTH , YOUNGSTER LOST,
WHERE OUR MINISTER LOST THEIR  INNOCENCE,
WHERE IS TRUTH LOST FROM THE WORLD,
WHERE  WE ARE GAMBLING OUR EMOTIONS,
WHERE  ALL GLACIERS LOST THEIR CHARM,
WHERE IS BEAUTY IS LOST FROM WOMEN,
WHERE IS CALMNESS  AND KINDNESS LOST.

How the faithful  city has become *****!
She that was full of justice,righteousness lodged in her- but now murderers!
Your silver has become dross,
your wine is mixed with water.
Your princes are rebels
and companions of thieves.
Everyone loves a bribe and runs after gifts.
They do not defend the orphan,
and the widow's cause does not come before them.

Therefore says the Sovereign,
the Lord of hosts , the Mighty One of Israel;
Ah! I will pour out my wrath  on my enemies,
and avenge  myself  on my foes!
I will turn  my hand against you;
I will smelt away your dross as with lye and remove all your alloy.
And I will restore your judges as at the first,
and your counselors as at the beginning .
Afterward you shall be called  the city of righteousness, the faithful city.
Zion shall be redeemed by justice, and those in her who repent , by righteousness .
But rebels and sinners shall be destroyed together,
and those who forsake the Lord shall be consumed.
For you shall be ashamed of the oaks
in which you delighted;
and  you shall blush for the gardens that you have chosen.
For you shall be like an oak whose leaf withers;
and like a garden without water.
The strong shall become like tinder,
and their work like a spark;
they and their work shall burn together,
with no one to quench them.

In  days to come the mountain of the Lord's house.
shall be established as the  highest of the mountains,
and shall be raised above the hills;
all  the  nations shall stream to it.
Many peoples  shall  come and say,
"Come  let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the house of the God of Jacob;
that he may teach us his ways
and that we may walk in his "
For out of Zion shall go forth instruction ,
and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
He shall judge between the nations,
and shall arbitrate for  many peoples;
they shall beat their swords
into plowshares;
and their spears into pruning hooks;
nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war any more.
