There is Life for a Look

Author: Amelia M. Hull Hymnal: Crowning Glory No. 2 #26 (1890) First Line: There is life for a look at the crucified One Refrain First Line: Then look unto Him Lyrics: 1 There is life for a look at the crucified One, There is life at this moment for thee; Then look, sinner, look unto Him and be saved, Unto Him who was nailed to the tree. Refrain Then look unto Him, Then look unto Him and be saved; There is life for a look at the crucified One, There is life at this moment for thee. 2 Oh, why was He there as the Bearer of sin, If on Jesus thy guilt was not laid? Oh, why from His side flowed the sin-cleansing blood, If His dying thy debt has not paid? [Refrain] 3 It is not thy tears of repentance or prayers, But the blood, that atones for the soul; On Him, then, who shed it, thou mayest, at once Thy weight of iniquities roll. [Refrain] 4 Then take, with rejoicing, from Jesus at once, The life everlasting He gives, And know with assurance thou never canst die, Since Jesus thy righteousness lives. [Refrain] Scripture: Isaiah 45:22 Languages: English Tune Title: [There is life for a look at the crucified One]
