Hymns using same tune:

#782, #786 (Tune 2)

 

 1  Jesus, 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  Savior, Surety, Lamb of God,

    Thou hast bought us with Thy blood;

    Thou hast wiped the debt away,

    Nothing left for us to pay;

 

 4  Nothing left for us to bear,

    Nothing left for us to share

    But the pardon and the bliss,

    But the love, the light, the peace.

 

 5  I to Thee will look and live,

    And, in looking, praises give;

    Looking lightens, looking heals,

    Looking all the gladness seals.

 

 6  Jesus, Savior, Son of God,

    Bearer of the sinner's load,

    I would rise to Thee above,

    I would look, and praise, and love.
