Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

My Savior, hanging on the tree 
 My Savior hanging on the tree, In agonies and blood, Methought once turn'd his eyes on me, As near his cross I stood. 
 Sure, never till my latest breath Can I forget that look; It seem'd to charge me with his death, Though not a word he spoke. 
 My conscience felt and own'd the guilt, And plung'd me in despair; 1 saw my sins his blood had spilt, And help'd to nail him there. 
 Alas! I knew not what I did; But now my tears are vain; Where shall my trembling soul be hid? For I the Lord have slain. 
 A second look he gave, which said, "I freely all forgive: This blood is for thy ransom paid, I die, that thou may'st live." 
 Thus, while his death my sin displays In all its blackest hue, (Such is the mystery of grace,) It seals my pardon too.
