The Bright Array ‎#62

62. Only a Look

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

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

4 Only a look, my Saviour;
‘Tis done; the work is Thine;
Thou, by a look, hast made me
An heir of grace divine.
Only a look, only a look,
Only a look from Thee;
One look from the cross,
The blood-stained cross,
Has brought sweet peace to me.
