THE LIVING SAVIOUR.
THE LIVING SAVIOUR.
"I know that ye seek Jesus which was crucified; He is not here for He is risen, as He said."—Matt. xxviii. 5. 6.
"Then were the disciples glad when they saw the Lord."—John xx. 20.
I wept beneath the Cross that bore
The Lamb for sinners slain;

And life is in His blood.
The Lamb for sinners slain;
And oft I wandered, oft returned,
To gaze on Him again.
My soul had scarce a gleam of hope,
Though 'neath the Cross I stood;
Yet I could say that Jesus died,
And life is in His blood.
But when the quickened pulse began
In this dull heart to move,
I had no rest till I beheld
The Object of my love:
I longed to know the spotless Man
Who bore my sin for me,
Who burst the bonds of death and hell
To set the prisoner free.
In this dull heart to move,
I had no rest till I beheld
The Object of my love:
I longed to know the spotless Man
Who bore my sin for me,
Who burst the bonds of death and hell
To set the prisoner free.
The cravings of my restless soul,
Of Christ Himself were born.
Like Mary, at the empty grave,
That resurrection morn,
Of Christ Himself were born.
Like Mary, at the empty grave,
That resurrection morn,
