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.
