JESUS ON THE CROSS.

By John Matteson

On the cross, in anguish crying, See the Saviour, suffering, dying; Lamb of God! Lamb of God! Heavenly grace on me bestowing, From thy wounded side now flowing; Precious blood, precious blood.
By thy Father now forsaken, In despair thy soul is shaken; All for me, all for me. From my sin, ’gainst Heaven rebelling, Mountain high transgressions swelling, Set me free! set me free!
Thou didst comfort John and Mary, Heavenly look in death so lovely; Look on me! look on me! Unto death, for others caring, Draw me now with love endearing, Near to thee, near to thee.
Crowned with thorns thy head so gory, Let me see thy dying glory; On the cross, on the cross. Give me, too, a look so loving, That can heal the heart, consuming All my dross, all my dross.
JOHN MATTESON.
