Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3043 Refrain First Line: O, can it be, upon a tree Lyrics: 1. I saw One hanging on a tree,
In agony and blood,
Who fixed His languid eyes on me,
As near His cross I stood.
Refrain
O, can it be, upon a tree,
The Savior died for me?
My soul is thrilled, my heart is filled,
To think He died for me!
2. Sure, never to my latest breath,
Can I forget that look;
It seemed to charge me with His death,
Though not a word He spoke. [Refrain]
3. My conscience felt and owned the guilt,
And plunged me in despair,
I saw my sins His blood had spilt,
And helped to nail Him there. [Refrain]
4. A second look He gave, which said,
I freely all forgive;
This blood is for thy ransom paid;
I die that thou mayst live. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: CANBERRA
