71*. Oh, My Savior Crucified

7s.
by R.C. Chapman
1
Oh, my Savior crucified,
 
Near Thy cross would I abide,
 
Gazing with adoring eye
 
On Thy dying agony.
2
Jesus bruised and put to shame,
 
Tells the glories of God’s name;
 
Holy judgment there I found,
 
Grace did there o’er sin abound.
3
God is love I surely know,
 
In the Savior’s depth of woe;
 
In the Sinless, in God’s sight,
 
Sin is justly brought to light.
“He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.” (1 John 4:8)
“I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.” (Psalm 69:2)
“Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth.” (1 Peter 2:22)
4
In His spotless soul’s distress,
 
I have learnt my guiltiness;
 
Oh, how vile my low estate,
 
Since my ransom was so great.
5
Rent the veil that closed the way
 
To my home of heavenly day,
 
In the flesh of Christ the Lord,
 
Ever be His name adored.
6
Yet in sight of Calvary,
 
Contrite should my spirit be,
 
Rest and holiness there find,
 
Fashioned like my Savior’s mind.
