Trembling soul, behold thy Saviour (205)

Trembling soul, behold thy Saviour
Seated on the Father’s throne;
Object of God’s highest favor,
See Him, God’s beloved Son!

Once on earth in Bethlehem’s manger,
As a helpless babe He lay,
God come down, a heavenly Stranger,
Love to sinners to display.

See the lowly One now bending,
In the lone Gethsemane,
Drops of blood His conflict marking,
Whilst He prays in agony!

Sinner, see the bleeding Saviour,
Pierced and nailed to Calvary’s tree;
Sacrifice of sweetest savor
Object of man’s enmity!

Sinner, hear the wondrous story
Jesus died, and rose for thee;
God in heaven now waits to save thee;
Now, believing, thou art free.
