There is life in a look at the crucified One (210)

There is life in a look at the crucified One,
There is life at this moment for thee!
Then look, sinner, look unto Him and be saved
Unto Him who was nailed to the tree!

Look! look! look and live!
There is life in a look at the crucified One,
There is life at this moment for thee!

All His anguish of soul on the cross hast thou seen?
And His cry of distress hast thou heard?
Then why, if the terrors of wrath He endured,
Should full pardon to thee be deferred?

We are healed by His stripes, wouldst thou add to the word?
He Himself is our righteousness made:
The best robe of heaven He bids thee put on,
Soul, O couldst thou be better arrayed?

Do not doubt then thy welcome, since God hath declared
There remaineth no more to be done:
Christ once in the end of the world hath appeared,
And completed the work He begun!

Take, O take with rejoicing, from Jesus at once,
Life the life everlasting He gives;
And know, with assurance, thou never canst die,
E’en as Jesus, thy Righteousness, lives!

There is life in a look at the crucified One,
There is life at this moment for thee!
Then look, sinner, look unto Him and be saved,
And then know thyself spotless as He!
