Looking on You

Author: James M. Gray Hymnal: Alexander's New Revival Hymns #116 (1922) First Line: I saw one hanging on a tree Refrain First Line: He's looking on you, looking on you Lyrics: 1 I saw one hanging on a tree, In visions of my soul, Who turn’d His loving eyes on me As near His cross I stole. Refrain: He's looking on you, looking on you! Oh, never were love and compassion so true; He's looking on you, looking on you! How can you refuse Him? He's looking, looking on you! 2 A gentle but condemning power Was stored within that eye; And ne'er can I forget that hour, From henceforth till I die. [Refrain] 3 Another look He gave, which said: "I freely all forgive; My blood is for a ransom shed, I die that thou may'st live.” [Refrain] 4 O sinner, thou must meet that gaze In judgment or in grace; Repent, believe and change thy ways, Ere thou behold His face. [Refrain] Scripture: Lamentations 3:22 Languages: English Tune Title: [I saw one hanging on a tree]
