Hymns on the Lord's Supper, 119

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Hymns on the Lord's Supper (1745) · Osborn ed., vol. 3 (1869)

Religion

Father, God, who seest in me
Only sin and misery,
See Thine own Anointed One,
Look on Thy beloved Son.

Turn from me Thy glorious eyes
To that bloody Sacrifice,
To the full atonement made,
To the utmost ransom paid;

To the blood that speaks above,
Calls for Thy forgiving love;
To the tokens of His death
Here exhibited beneath.

Hear His blood's prevailing cry,
Let Thy bowels then reply,
Then through Him the sinner see
Then in Jesus look on me.
