Author: William W. How Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #319 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, when we stand afar,
And gaze upon thy holy cross,
In love of thee and scorn of self,
O, may we count the world as loss.
2 When we behold thy bleeding wounds,
And the rough way that thou hast trod,
Make us to hate the load of sin
That lay so heavy on our God.
2 O holy Lord! uplifted high
With outstretched arms, in mortal woe,
Embracing in thy wondrous love
The sinful world that lies below! Topics: Christ Sufferings and Death Tune Title: OLDEN
