Hymns

Dear dying Friend, we look on thee,

by John Berridge·1814·Meter 8.8.8.8 (LM)

Based on Heb 12:24; Ps 51:7

1

Dear dying Friend, we look on thee,
And own our foul offences here;
We built thy cross on Calvary,
And nailed and pierced thy body there.

2

Yet, let the blood our hands have spilt
Be sprinkled on each guilty heart,
To purge the conscience well from guilt,
And everlasting life impart.

3

So will we sing thy lovely name,
For grace so rich and freely given;
And tell thy love, and tell our shame,
That one we murdered gives us heaven.
