ON ONE STONE SHALL BE SEVEN EYES




Jesus Christ, the Lord's anointed,
Who his blood for sinners spilt;
Is the Stone by God appointed,
And the church is on him built:
He delivers
all who trust him from their guilt.


Many eyes at once are fixed
On a person so divine;
Love, with aweful justice mixed,
In his great redemption shine:
Mighty Jesus!
give me leave to call thee mine.


By the Father's eye approved,
Lo, a voice is heard from heav'n,
Sinners, this is my Beloved,
For your ransom freely given:
All offences,
for his sake, shall be forgiven.


Angels with their eyes pursued him,
When he left his glorious throne;
With astonishment they viewed him
Put the form of servant on:
Angels worshipped
him who was on earth unknown.


Satan and his host amazed,
Saw this stone in Zion laid;
Jesus, though to death abased,
Bruised the subtle serpent's head:
When to save us,
on the cross his blood he shed.


When a guilty sinner sees him,
While he looks his soul is healed;
Soon this sight from anguish frees him,
And imparts a pardon sealed:
May this Saviour
be to all our hearts revealed!


With desire and admiration,
All his blood-bought flock behold;
Him who wrought out their salvation,
And enclosed them in his fold:
Yet their warmest
love, and praises, are too cold.


By the eye of carnal reason
Many view him with disdain;
How will they abide the season
When he'll come with all his train:
To escape him
then they'll wish, but wish in vain.


How their hearts
will melt and tremble
When they hear his aweful voice;
But his saints he'll then assemble,
As his portion and his choice;
And receive them
to his everlasting joys.
