1. In evil long I took delight, | |||
Unawed by shame or fear; | |||
Till a new object struck my sight, | |||
And stopped my wild career. | |||
2. I saw One hanging on a tree, | |||
In agonies and blood; | |||
Who fixed His languid eyes on me, | |||
As near His cross I stood. | |||
3. Sure, never to my latest breath, | |||
Can I forget that look; | |||
I seemed to charge me with His death, | |||
Though not a word He spoke. | |||
4. My conscience felt, and owned the guilt, | |||
And plunged me in despair; | |||
I saw my sins His blood had spilt, | |||
And helped to nail Him there}} | |||

5. Alas! I knew not what I did, | |||
But now my tears are vain; | |||
Where shall my trembling soul be hid? | |||
For I the Lord have slain. | |||
6. A second look He gave, which said, | |||
"I freely all forgive; | |||
This blood is for thy ransom paid, | |||
I die, that thou may live." | |||
7. Thus, while His death my sin displays, | |||
In all its blackest hue, | |||
(Such is the mystery of grace) | |||
It seals my pardon too. | |||
8.With pleasing grief and mournful joy, | |||
My spirit now is filled; | |||
That I should such a life destroy, | |||
Yet live by Him I killed.}} | |||
