The two Looks

Author: John Newton Hymnal: Laudes Domini #162 (1890) Topics: Christ Crucifixion of; Christ Crucifixion of First Line: I saw One hanging on a tree Lyrics: 1 I saw One hanging on a tree, In agony and blood; Who fixed his languid eyes on me, As near the cross I stood. 2 Sure, never, till my latest breath, Can I forget that look: It seemed to charge me with his death, Though not a word he spoke. 3 Alas! I knew not what I did, But now my tears are vain; Where shall my trembling soul be hid, For I the Lord have slain! 4 A second look he gave, that said, "I freely all forgive: This blood is for thy ransom paid; I die that thou may'st live. 5 Thus while his death my sin displays In all its blackest hue, Such is the mystery of grace, It seals my pardon too!

Before the Cross

Author: James Allen Hymnal: Laudes Domini #511 (1890) Topics: Christ Crucifixion of; Christ Crucifixion of First Line: Sweet the moments, rich in blessing Lyrics: 1 Sweet the moments, rich in blessing, Which before the cross we spend; Life, and health, and peace possessing, From the sinner's dying Friend. Truly blessed is this station, Low before his cross to lie, While we see divine compassion, Beaming in his gracious eye. 2 Love and grief our hearts dividing, With our tears his feet we bathe; Constant still, in faith abiding, Life deriving from his death. For thy sorrows we adore thee, For the pains that wrought our peace, Gracious Saviour! we implore thee In our souls thy love increase. 3 Here we feel our sins forgiven, While upon the Lamb we gaze, And our thoughts are all of heaven, And our lips o'erflow with praise. Still in ceaseless contemplation, Fix our hearts and eyes on thee, Till we taste thy full salvation, And, unvailed, thy glories see. Languages: English Tune Title: ARMSTRONG
