lyrics

O come and look awhile on Him,
Whom we have pierced, who for us died;
Together let us look,
This Son whom God forsook.

His willing hands and feet are bound;
His gracious lips with thirst are dried;
His pitying eye is dimmed;
This Lamb, who takes our sin.

O love of God! O sin of man!
In this dread act your strength is tried;
And victory’s sealed with love,
For He, our Lord, is crucified.

Shall we refuse to hear Him speak?
Dare we neglect to hear His cry?
“O Father, please forgive.
They don’t know what they did.”

His cross of shame is all our hope;
The fountain opened in His side
Shall purge our deepest stains;
Till not a spot remains.

O love of God! O sin of man!
In this dread act your strength is tried;
And victory’s sealed with love,
For He, our Lord, is crucified.
A broken and a contrite heart
To none who ask will be denied;
Each broken heart will be
A temple of the crucified.
