The CrossIn evil long I took delight,Unawed by shame or fear,Till a new object struck my sight,And stopped my wild career.I saw One hanging on a tree,In agonies and blood;He fixed His languid eyes on me, As near His cross I stood.Sure never till my latest breath,Shall I forget that look!It seemed to charge me with His death, Though not a word He spoke.A second look He gave, which said,"I freely all forgive;This blood is for thy ransom paid; I die that thou mayest live."Thus while His death my sin displaysIn all its blackest hue,Such is the mystery of grace, It seals my pardon too! John Newton
