There's Life in a Look

1There's life in a look at the sacred cross, Jesus has said, "Look unto me;"
I'll look to the cross ev'ry day and hour, Trusting the promise God has given;
O When first to the Saviour I raised my eyes, Sweet was the smile that fell on me.

RefrainIn a look... there's life for thee, In a look at Calvary;
In a look there's life for thee, In a look at Calvary;
Blessed thought, salvation free, By a look... at Calvary (at Calvary).
Blessed thought, salvation free, By a look

2Earth with its riches is poor to the cross, Brightness beyond through the open veil,
None ever shall reach the tempter's pow'r! Blue was on a pearl, all else seemed a hazem,
Of as the clouds of temp'ration rise, A look at the cross still my pardon tell.
