I Saw One Hanging on a Tree
Refrain  [1]  [2]  [3]  [4] 
Contemporary
O, can it be, upon a tree
The Savior died for me?
My soul is thrilled, My heart is filled,
To think He died for me!
I saw One hanging on a tree
In agony and blood;
He fixed His loving eyes on me
As near His cross I stood.
Sure, never till my latest breath,
Can I forget that look;
It seemed to charge me with His death,
Tho' not a word He spoke.
My conscience felt and owned the guilt
And plunged me in despair;
I saw my sins His blood had spilt
And helped to nail Him there.
A second look He gave, which said,
I freely all forgive:
This blood is for your ransom paid;
I die that you may live.

I saw One hanging on a tree
In agony and blood;
He fixed His loving eyes on me
As near His cross I stood.

My soul is thrilled, My heart is filled,
To think He died for me!

Sure, never till my latest breath,
Can I forget that look;

Tho' not a word He spoke.

My conscience felt and owned the guilt
And plunged me in despair;
I saw my sins His blood had spilt
And helped to nail Him there.

A second look He gave, which said,
I freely all forgive:
This blood is for your ransom paid;
I die that you may live.
