8755. One Look At The Cross

1 One look at the cross on Calvary’s mount,
Where Christ the Redeemer suffered and died,
Will satisfy all who look and abide—
Our Jesus was crucified.

Refrain:
One look at the cross on Calvary’s brow,
Will satisfy all; oh, look to it now!
One look at the cross, redemption will give!
Oh, look to it now! with joy and live!

2 One look at the cross sufficient will be
To save thee from sin, and set thy soul free;
The promise is: “Look, and only believe,
And mercy thou shalt receive.” [Refrain]

3 Then look at the cross, O burdened of soul!
Where floweth the blood and maketh thee whole;
That one look of faith to Calvary’s brow,
Will bring thee salvation now. [Refrain]
