It is not to be expected that we should love God supremely if we have not known him to be more desirable than all other things. - Isaac Watts

When I survey the wond'rous Cross
On which the Prince of Glory dy'd,
My richest Gain I count but Loss,
And pour Contempt on all my Pride

"When I Survey" always feels like the right hymn to be singing on Good Friday.
Always a joy to be out early, playing my guitar and joining in with the birds.
