See the cross, the cross of Jesus, Crimson with His own life’s blood; Thus He dide, lest we should perish, Wondrous love! Thou Son of God.

He will save you, trembling sinner, Hasten to the crimson cross; Oh, believe Him, He will save you, Save you at the shelt’ring cross.

Oh, His precious blood that bought us! Oh, His pity for the lost! Can you slight His love, poor sinner, While so near the shelt’ring cross?

He will save you, trembling sinner, Hasten to the crimson cross; Oh, believe Him, He will save you, Save you at the shelt’ring cross.

Hasten to Him, sinner, hasten! Heaven yearns to make you blest; Father, Son, and Spirit call you; Come with all your woes oppressed.

He will save you, trembling sinner, Hasten to the crimson cross; Oh, believe Him, He will save you, Save you at the shelt’ring cross.

Yield your heart and life to Jesus, Freely He His grace will give; With Him you shall reign in glory, If for Him on earth you live.

He will save you, trembling sinner, Hasten to the crimson cross; Oh, believe Him, He will save you, Save you at the shelt’ring cross.
