Jesu, Savior, Son of God

Jesu

Sav­ior

Son of God

Bearer of the sin­ner’s load;

Breaker of the cap­tive’s chain

Cleanser of the guil­ty’s stain.

Thou the sin­ner’s death hast died

Thou for us wast cru­ci­fied;

For our sins Thy flesh was torn

Thou our pe­nal­ty hast borne

Of our guilt

up­on the tree

Which the Fa­ther laid on Thee!

Savior

Sure­ty

Lamb of God

Thou hast bought us with Thy blood.

Thou hast wiped the debt away

Nothing left for us to pay;

Nothing left for us to bear

Nothing left for us to share

But the par­don and the bliss

But the love

the light

the peace.

I to Thee will look and live

And

in look­ing

prais­es give.

Looking light­ens

look­ing heals

Looking all the glad­ness seals;

Looking breaks the bind­ing chain

Looking sets us free again.

Looking scat­ters all our night

Makes our fac­es shine with light;

Looking quick­ens

strength­ens

brings

Heavenly glad­ness on its wings!

Jesu

Sav­ior

Son of God

Bearer of the sin­ner’s load

I would rise to Thee ab­ove

I would look

and praise

and love.

Ever look­ing let me be

At the blood-be­sprink­led tree

Blessing Thee with lip and soul

While the end­less ag­es roll.
