Jesus your Saviour crucified! Look up, and see his wounded side! Refrain: Look to Jesus, look, and live! Look to Jesus, he’ll forgive; Perishing soul, he’ll make thee whole; Look up, look up, and live. 2 The serpent’s sting his blood can cure! His healing power unfailing, sure Can save the most despairing case,— So strong his love, so rich his grace! [Refrain] 3 Oh, many a poor sin-bitten soul Has looked to him, and been made whole, And many a hopeless one received A cure, who on his name believed. [Refrain] 4 His loving heart to sinners turns, And e’en t’ward guilty rebels yearns;— He pities souls defiled by sin, His mercy takes the vilest in.
