68*. By Faith I See the Savior Dying
9,3,9,3,8,8,8,3.
by R. Jukes
By faith I see the Savior dying,
To ruined sinners He is crying,
He bids the guilty now draw near,
Hark, hark! His precious words I hear —
So soft, so sweet, they banish fear —
“Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.” (1 Peter 2:24)
“Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.” (Isaiah 45:22)

This mercy still my soul refreshes —
And every moment Christ is precious
None can describe the bliss I prove,
While through the wilderness I rove,
Enjoying still my Savior’s love —
Long as I live I’d still be crying,
Point to the Lamb for sinners dying
There all my foes He hath withstood,
Washed all my sins away with blood,
Made manifest the love of God
“Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.” (1 Peter 2:24)
“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7)
“In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.” (1 John 4:9)

How sweet the truth, ye sinners, hear it,
Ye saints of God, to all declare it,
Visit your neighbor’s dark abode,
Proclaim to all this love of God,
Oh spread the joyful news abroad,
