Life In A Look

There is life in a look at the crucified One; O yes, there is life there for thee: Simply look unto Christ and by faith be thou saved- Unto him who was nailed to the tree.

Look! look! look and live! O! look now, by faith, to the Crucified One; There' s a full pledge of life there for thee.

O! why was he there as the bearer of sin, If on Jesus thy guilt was not laid? O! why from his side flowed the sin-cleansing blood, If his dying thy debt hath not paid?

It is not thy tears of repentance, and prayers, But the blood, that atones for the soul; We simply accept of the work for us done, And rejoice that he maketh us whole.

None need doubt their welcome, since God has declared Jesus Christ tasted death for us all; And again in the end of the age he' ll appear, And restore what was lost by the fall.

We take with rejoicing from Jesus at once, The life everlasting he gives: We have the assurance of life without end, Since Jesus, our righteousness, lives.
