05. THE LORD TURNED AND LOOKED UPON PETER

Whene'er in act or word,
Slighting Thy warning grace,
Like Peter, I deny Thee, Lord,
Toward me turn Thy face.

Yea, Master, turn and look
On me in love untold:
Cast that same searching glance, which broke
The Apostle's heart of old;

Until with weeping eyes
I gaze toward Thy heaven:
Then, Saviour, speak the word, "Arise!
Arise, restored, forgiven!"
