Author:Fanny J. Crosby
Tune:[Only a look, my Saviour]
Composer:W. J. K.

63. Only a Look

1 Only a look, my Saviour,
While trembling here I bow;
Only a look, my Saviour;
My heart is breaking now.

Refrain:
Only a look, only a look,
Only a look from Thee,
One look from the cross, the blood-stained cross,
Will bring sweet peace to me.

2 Only a look, my Saviour,
Will all my sins forgive;
Tenderly now behold me,
And bid my spirit live. [Refrain]

3 Only a look, my Saviour,
With joy my heart would fill;
Graciously hear my pleading,
And bend my wayward will. [Refrain]

4 Only a look, my Saviour;
Tis done, the work is Thine;
Thou, by a look, hast made me
An heir of grace divine. [Refrain]
