1  There is life for a look at the Crucified One,

       There is life at this moment for thee;

    Then look, sinner, look unto Him and be saved,

       Unto Him who was nailed to the tree.

 2  Oh, why was He there as the Bearer of sin,

       If on Jesus thy guilt was not laid?

    Oh, why from His side flowed the sin-cleansing blood,

       If His dying thy debt has not paid?

 3  It is not thy tears of repentance or prayers,

       But the blood, that redeemeth the soul;

    On Him, then, who shed it, thou mayest at once

       Thy weight of iniquities roll.

 4  Then doubt not thy welcome, since God has declared

       There remaineth no more to be done;

    That once in the end of the world He appeared,

       And completed the work He begun.

 5  Then take with rejoicing from Jesus at once

       The life everlasting He gives;

    And know with assurance, thou never canst die

       Since Jesus, thy Righteousness, lives.
