This is one of my top 3/5 favorite hymns. Im a PK (Preacher's Kid) and grew up literally in church. I am also a musician, puanist, organ, a little guitar, and vocals. This song ALWAYS moves me to tears. I'd never heard the verse about the "robe and the globe". This has got to be such an interesting piece. Thank you so much for featuring it! I rededicated my life to Jesus on 3/3/2020 & He has done amazing things in my life!!!
Thank you!! This video popped up in my feed and fed my soul. I grew up in the Church of England in South Africa. Easter was my favourite time. We went to church as a family and then went home to coffee and hot cross buns. I loved the beautiful old hymns... still do. This was a favourite. Thinking back now I realise what an incredible example of Christ's love and compassion my parents and grandmother were. My father was such a wonderful example of Father God. I am 64, have lost my parents, grandmother and older brother but I know where they are and that, because Christ died for us, I will be with them again one day, but most comforting, I will share their joy in being in the presence of God. God bless your ministry.❤
@@BFelicia It's the amount of time the video has run. You can see it when you hover your cursor over the video near the bottom. As you move your cursor left to right you can see the elapsed time. Move it until you see 4:59 (minutes)
I can't express my thanks for you and your channel. I listen/watch to two or three videos as I am going to sleep. The songs help to direct my thoughts to God in a more meaningful manner. The songs are my prayers. I thank God for this channel and ask for God's blessings upon you.
I've read how Charles Wesley said at the end of his life how he was almost envious that Isaac Watts wrote this cuz he wish he had... He considered it the greatest hymn ever written
I have come to truly appreciate and enjoy these videos as you go through the history and the meaning of the hymns and songs. We sang this song, "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross" on Good Friday. 🤍✝️ I was first introduced to it when our choir began practicing it otherwise I have never heard of it but I am glad I know it now. It is such a beautiful old hymn. 😌🙌 I find myself going back to more of those old hymns because of their depth and meaning.
A beautiful hymn. I was recently travelling in Europe and visiting many churches , so many churches particularly in Italy that are off the tourist trail are of equal beauty and show off the dedication of those who built them in their architecture and beautiful paintings within. And they are usually open to the public but infrequently visited. I found myself in one such church all alone and marvelling at the majestic architecture - the beauty of the murals, the greatness of God. In that moment I was moved to begin singing this hymn, alone and with the wonderful acoustics enhancing and answering to me, there have been seldom more moving moments in my walk with Christ. God is everywhere and worship can be anywhere and anytime, there are so many opportunities everywhere we go.
I sang that beautiful hymn only to the 2nd tune throughout my life thus far (82 this year) and still prefer it. Thank you Luke I just love this program and look forward to every morsel with hunger. These meaningful and truly worshipful profound hymns will forever be my choice over the modern and sometimes repetative 'songs'
To me, the song is about recognising the death of Jesus and understanding what it means to my life. Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all. Amen ❤🙏
As an Australian, I grew up in the churches of Christ & sang this song regularly with the first tune, now in my later years I attend a Presbyterian church & we sang this song this morning with the second tune. So my first church was introduced from the USA & my second from Scotland, so that would account for the two tunes. Either way I have never heard of that third verse & didn't realise there was an extra one. We do sing this song often when we have communion or just because... but it was lovely to sing it this morning. It truly is an amazing song & one that I can still sing without the words in front of me & the gravitas of the song & the words when singing it, deeply resonate with me emotionally even though I have been singing it now for at least 70 years... Thank you for telling us the Scripture verse that inspired him to write it.
I grew up singing these hymns. For me I love both ‘The Old Rugged Cross’ and ‘When I Survey the Wondrous Cross’. I look on the word ‘I’ as personal. When I sing the hymns there is a story and a message for us that never gets old because it touches your inner being. I enjoy it when you give the story and sing ALL the verses. God bless🙏
This is such a very special hymn for me. I learned it in 1978 when I was a freshman in highschool, singing in our churches youth choir. I'm now 61 years old and love singing it each Good Friday. Thank you for singing the verse I haven't heard before, and also both melodies. May God Bless you and yours during this beautiful Easter season! ✝️
This beautiful hymn, is only a part of what Jesus did for me. When He was on the cross, I was on His mind. Remember we did not ask for Him. We asked for Barrabas instead. We were the ones who crucified Him. He came doing good. He took all our sins. He took the place that we deserved. All what we can do is to offer ourselves, surrender to Him and accept Him as our Lord and personal Saviour. LOVE WAS AND STILL IS ON CALVARY'S CROSS FOR EACH AND EVERYONE OF US. THANK YOU JESUS. ❤❤❤
At one time Watts was at Above Bar Church Southampton. The Globe was carried on every ship. Out from this congregation The Pilgrim fathers set off for USA.
His first hymn was "Join all the glorious names of wisdom love and power. Where the young Prince of Glory died ... I have just heard you words after I have. In Jarvis Street Baptist Church Toronto the sing vv.1. on Rockingham 2 3 4 on Boston and 4 on Duke Street. All in the same key.
Were the whole realm of nature mine; that were a present (tribute, Offering) far too small. Love so amazing, so divine; demand my soul my life my ALL. i've ponder this line sinnce Good Friday AD 2024. Thanks for sharing this
Thank You Dear Brother in Christ Jesus our Blessed Savior ✝️🩸🙏 This Is My Favorite Hymn of All Because It Says It All So Well 💥I Appreciate The Story of Watts on how he came to write and compose the Very Beautiful Hymn
Thank you for exposition of this song. I have learnt more about the verse behind the song - Galatians 6:14 NLT As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world's interest in me has also died.
Oh how we get caught up in the events of the day, all that is going on in the USA and around the world. This hymn and the scriptures referenced reenforces that the things of this world are but loss in comparison to the love of Christ. Thanks for this explanation of the history of this hymn. It pulls me back to center my thought and actions on what matters most. Christ lives, Christ died, and three days later He rose from the dead and now He sits on the right hand of God the Father. In Him alone is forgiveness of sin. May God continue to Bless you and your ministry.
Thank you for this. I much prefer the second version and the line about ‘the blood spreading like a robe’ was powerful in its imagery. We need to revive such magnificent language in our current world where ‘English’ is so dumbed down. Thank you from Canada. ❤
So glad to find your site! I surrendered to Christ a few years ago ( was raised in a Christian home but fell away). I wondered why churches weren't praising to these old hymns. So happy to find others who see others here who appreciate the depth of these hymns!
Walking on the beach at Jekyll Island GA - pondering "were the whole realm of nature mine, that were an offering far too small...". And found the hymn and this history. The miracle of RUclips 😊
just discovered these versions of the song exist ... grew up singing a completely different version of this song in Zimbabwe.. and the last part was also omitted in both the English and the Shona versions. God bless you for your ministry
Thank you Jesus for dying me. I grew up with the second version of this song. It was very personal for me as we sang it at home, in school or the Anglican church. God bless you for sharing and may we all use this special occasion to reflect on what Jesus did for us all.
I appreciate your survey! Very good! I came looking for the song because I was thinking of the last verse and our love and duty towards Jesus ought to reflect his love towards us. When I saw the line “My God” I was unsure what to think of that because I believe in Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, but I try to stick to the terminology I see in the Bible due to all of the denominations in the world. I thought this history of the song might help me with that. I don’t think it helped my theology in the sense of my original issue, but I am good with singing the song! It is beautiful and involves the most important theology about what it means to be a Christian with a commission from our Lord and Savior!
Rise and shine, give God your glory glory. I have not heard this hymn before. The old hymns have been apart of my 50 year walk with him. They are precious to me.
Great hymn. the word "Survey.' I fix my head on the the cross in my mind, some tears drop not realising my eyes go wetting unknowing. It relies my identity of yesterday to today. Great. I am thankfull and praise the LORD Christ. In my native language Kannada in India, the word don't find this deep meaning.
As always I thank God for you. This has floored me Many I's yes but what a reflection of relationship makes you seriously look and ask yourself what am I actually doing, what kind of life am I living and for WHO? Thankyou LORD for this . The mercy of God in the ways which He speaks to us individually Is amazing.
What a touching hymn portraying the wondrous grace of our Lord Jesus! Through the years of singing it, the words, "Sorrow and love flow mingled down! Did e'er such love and sorrow meet;" have never failed to touch my heart and soul. As you were going over the first verse, I was wondering why the nouns in that verse were capitalized. Also, I hadn't heard the 4th verse before. Thanks, Luke, for presenting this classic hymn!
Have never heard of the 3rd verse, but it is beautiful in its description of the covering which occurs when we apply it to our lives at salvation. My favorite verse is the last, for nothing can be enough to show Him how precious He is to me !!!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful hymn. We always sang it over Easter in the Methodist Church next to the lake in Boksburg. This song does not only remind me of Father God's great love for us, but it also reminds me of the Godly example I had in my mother and father's love and faith they displayed. A faith and example they got from their parents. To this day my Grandfather on my Dad's side, is a great beacon of faith to me. I enjoyed this half hour of praise, worship and reflection immensly. God bless you richly for the wondercul way you reach out to the world through music.
Thank you Luke for this wonderful worship song , this song is translated into many Indian languages ,I remember singing in our Sunday school this song in English and in the church it was in Telegu (South Indian) . Especially on Good Friday we sing this song for the mass would be from morning 10:00 am to afternoon 3:00pm.. thank you for giving me this time to reflect And soak in the worship.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH LUKE. SUCH BEAUTIFUL HEART WARMING WORDS IN THIS PRECIOUS SONG. THANK YOU JESUS FOR TAKING MY PLACE ON THE CROSS. GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS LUKE. A VERY BLESSED EASTER FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
What a blessing to learn how others sing and worship songs of worship!! I struggled to sing the second version with you as ive never heard it before, but how beautiful! I grew up singing the first one in America, so was such a joy to sing with you... especially with those beautiful verses id never seen before! I love this song so much!! Blessings brother, may God continue to bless your ministry!

I love this hymn. As a church organist I now use the lovely sad folk tune "O Waly Waly" in the original 3/4 time, that works well with the words. I was brought up with the "Rockingham" tune, but that never seems to work well when I play it.
Doug we were just talking about you and our visit to the States, yesterday! And my dad and I were talking through the Downpour album and how we enjoy those songs. I am still going to get you to guest on one of my Encounter videos to talk about those songs. Soon! Sending you love from SA.
