78. Jesus, Saviour, Son of God

1 Jesus, Saviour, 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 Saviour, 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 heads,
Looking all the gladness seals.

6 Jesus, Saviour, Son of God,
Bearer of the sinner's load,
I would rise to Thee above,
I would look, and praise, and love.

Amen.
