Jesus Christ, the Lord's anointed

On one throne shall be seven eyes by John Newton


 * 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 Savior 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.
