When I See My Savior

Verse 1

When I see my Savior, hanging on Calvary, Bearing there for sinners bitterest agony, Gratitude o’erwhelms me, makes mine eyes grow dim, All my ransomed being captive is to Him.

Verse 2

I can see the blood-drops, red ’neath His thorny crown, From the cruel nail wounds now they are falling down; Lord, when I would wander from Thy love away, Let me see those blood-drops shed for me that day.

Verse 3

“Why hast thou forsaken?”--list to that sad, sad moan! Oh, His heart was broken, suffering there alone; Broken then that mortals ne’er need cry in vain For God’s love and comfort, in the hour of pain.
