379. O My Savior Crucified

4-7s.
by R. Chapman
1
O 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.
4
In His spotless soul’s distress,
 
I have learned 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.
