Jesus bled and died for us,
Look to Je­sus! look to Je­sus!
Have you read how the dy­ing thief was saved
My Sav­ior, how Thy soul was awed,

hang­ing on the tree

Upward sent a pray­er for me?
Through His death, He came to save us;
When he looked with plead­ing eyes and said,

When he looked with plead­ing eyes and said,
My sins He on Thy bo­dy laid,
Loudly to cry, My God, My God,
