Look unto Me and be ye saved,
I heard the Just One say;
And as by faith on Him I gazed,
My burden rolled away.
Refrain
I’ve passed the cross at Calvary,
I’m on the Heaven side;
The world is crucified to me,
Since Christ my ransom died;
The world is crucified to me,
Since Christ my ransom died.
By His atonement reconciled,
My Father’s face I see;
The empty tomb now intervenes
Between the world and me.
Refrain
Oh, glorious height of vantage ground!
Oh, blest victorious hour!
In Him to trust and fully know
His resurrection power.
