Hymns - As On the Cross the Savior Hung - Текст песни

As on the Cross the Savior Hung
And wept, and bled, and died,
He poured salvation on a wretch
That languished at his side.

His crimes with inward grief and shame
The penitent confessed
Then turned his dying eyes to Christ,
And thus his prayer addressed:

"Jesus, thou Son and heir of heav'n!
Thou spotless Lamb of God!
I see thee bathed in sweat and tears
And welt'ring in thy blood

"Yet quickly from these scenes of woe,
In triumph thou shalt rise--
Burst through the gloomy shades of death,
And shine above the skies.

"Amid the glories of that world,
Dear Saviou, think on me,
and in the vict'ries of thy death
Let me a sharer be."

His prayer the dying Jesus hears,
And instantly replies
"To-day thy parting soul shall be
With me in Paradise."
