Author: John Newton Hymnal: Laudes Domini #162 (1890) 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! Topics: The Lord Jesus Christ; Christ Crucifixion of; Christ Sufferings of; Law of God; Christ Crucifixion of; Christ Sufferings of; Law of God Languages: English Tune Title: MANOAH
