There is Life in a Look

Author: Rev. J. Parker Hymnal: Calvary Songs #60 (1875) First Line: There is life in a look at the crucified One Refrain First Line: O trust in his own precious blood Lyrics: 1 There is life in a look at the crucified One, And joy to the spirit within; There is pardon for thee, Sinner, come and be free, For his blood giveth cleansing from sin. Refrain: Oh, trust in his own precious blood, Who gives us acceptance with God; He has pardoned my sin, He renews me within, I love him and trust in his word. 2 There is peace in a look at the crucified One, He bore all my burden and shame; I have nothing to bring, To his mercy I cling, I am trusting alone in his name. [Refrain] 3 There is rest in a look at the crucified One, When weary I fly to his care; He invites me to come, In his love there is room, And I'm welcome his mercy to share. [Refrain] 4 There is hope in a look at the crucified One, A hope that a mansion is mine, Where the saints robed in white, In the City of Light, Through faith in the Crucified shine.

S. J. Vail

1818 - 1884 Composer of "[There is life in a look at the crucified One]" in Calvary Songs In his youth Silas Jones Vail learned the hatter's trade at Danbury, Ct. While still a young man, he went to New York and took employment in the fashionable hat store of William H. Beebe. Later he established himself in business as a hatter at 118 Fulton Street, where he was for many years successful. But the conditions of trade changed, and he could not change with them. After his failure in 1869 or 1870 he devoted his entire time and attention to music. He was the writer of much popular music for use in churches and Sunday schools. Pieces of music entitled "Scatter Seeds of Kindness," "Gates Ajar," "Close to Thee," "We Shall Sleep, but not Forever," and "Nothing but Leaves" were known to all church attendants twenty years ago. Fanny Crosby, the blind authoress, wrote expressly for him many of the verses he set to music. --Vail, Henry H. (Henry Hobart). Genealogy of some of the Vail family descended from Jeremiah Vail at Salem, Mass., 1639, p. 234.
