I Saw One Hanging on a Tree

Author: John Newton Hymnal: Hymns of the Christian Life #75 (1936) Lyrics: 1 I saw One hanging on a tree, In agony and blood, Who fixed His languid eyes on me, As near His cross I stood. 2 Sure, never to my latest breath, Can I forget that look; It seemed to charge me with His death, Though not a word He spoke. 3 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. 4 A second look He gave, that said, “I freely all forgive; This blood is for thy ransom paid; I die that thou may’st live.” Topics: Communion Service; Cross (Calvary); Redemption Languages: English Tune Title: [I saw One hanging on a tree]
