Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11257 Lyrics: 1 Jesu, Savior, Son of God,
Bearer of the sinner’s load;
Breaker of the captive’s chain,
Cleanser of the guilty’s stain.
2 Thou the sinner’s death hast died,
Thou for us wast crucified;
For our sins Thy flesh was torn,
Thou our penalty hast borne,
3 Of our guilt, upon the tree,
Which the Father laid on Thee!
Savior, Surety, Lamb of God,
Thou hast bought us with Thy blood.
4 Thou hast wiped the debt away,
Nothing left for us to pay;
Nothing left for us to bear,
Nothing left for us to share,
5 But the pardon and the bliss,
But the love, the light, the peace.
I to Thee will look and live,
And, in looking, praises give.
6 Looking lightens, looking heals,
Looking all the gladness seals;
Looking breaks the binding chain,
Looking sets us free again.
7 Looking scatters all our night,
Makes our faces shine with light;
Looking quickens, strengthens, brings
Heavenly gladness on its wings!
8 Jesu, Savior, Son of God,
Bearer of the sinner’s load,
I would rise to Thee above,
I would look, and praise, and love.
9 Ever looking let me be
At the blood-besprinkled tree,
Blessing Thee with lip and soul,
While the endless ages roll. Languages: English Tune Title: HEINLEIN
Jesu, Savior, Son Of God
