There is life for a look at the Crucified One

178
				P.M.

1	There is life for 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 for a look at the Crucified One,
		There is life at this moment for thee.

2	Oh, why was He there as the Bearer of sin,
	If on Jesus thy guilt was not laid?
	Oh, why from His side flowed the sin-cleansing blood,
	If His dying thy debt has not paid?

3	 It is not thy tears of repentance or prayers,
	But the blood, that atones for the soul;
	On Him, then, Who shed it, thou mayest at once
	Thy weight of iniquities roll.

4	Then doubt not thy welcome, since God has declared
	There remaineth no more to be done;
	That once in the end of the world He appeared,
	And completed the work He begun.

5	Then take with rejoicing from Jesus at once
	The life everlasting He gives;
	And know with assurance thou never canst die,
	Since Jesus, thy righteousness, lives.
