La mirada de fe


La mirada de fe al que ha muerto en la cruz,
Infalible la vida nos da:
Mira, pues, pecador, mira pronto a Jesús,
Y tu alma la vida hallará.

CORO.
¡Ve! ¡ve! ¡ve a El!
Que si miras con fe al que ha muerto en la cruz,
Al momento la vida tendrás.

Ni el gemir, ni el llorar, de la culpa el baldón
O la pena quitarte podrá:
Solo Cristo en su cruz, padeciendo hasta el fin
Ha podido tu carga llevar.

No vaciles ni tengas temor, ¡oh mortal!
Pues Jesús en la cruz anunció,
Exclamando con voz de clemencia y poder:
"Consumada es ya la redención"

Oye, pues, con placer el decreto de Dios,
Que bondadoso la vida te da,
Y recibe con fe el mensaje de amor,
Que te anuncia el perdón y la paz.

 
   
 

There is life for a look


There is life for a look at the Crucified One,
There is life at this moment for thee;
Then look, sinner, look unto Him and be saved,
Unto Him Who was nailed to the tree.

Refrain

Look! look! look and live!
There is life for a look at the Crucified One,
There is life at this moment for thee.

Oh, why was He there as the Bearer of sin,
If on Jesus thy guilt was not laid?
Oh, why from His side flowed the sin-cleansing blood,
If His dying thy debt has not paid?

It is not thy tears of repentance or prayers,
But the blood, that atones for the soul;
On Him, then, who shed it, thou mayest at once
Thy weight of iniquities roll.

Then doubt not thy welcome, since God has declared
There remaineth no more to be done;
That once in the end of the world He appeared,
And completed the work He begun.

Then take with rejoicing from Jesus at once
The life everlasting He gives;
And know with assurance thou never canst die,
Since Jesus, thy righteousness, lives.
