Isaac Watts - Hymn 112
Work rating: Low

The brazen serpent; or, Looking to Jesus.

John 3:14-16. 

So did the Hebrew prophet raise
The brazen serpent high,
The wounded felt immediate ease,
The camp forbore to die.

"Look upward in the dying hour,
And live," the prophet cries;
But Christ performs a nobler cure,
When Faith lifts up her eyes.

High on the cross the Savior hung,
High in the heav`ns he reigns:
Here sinners by th` old serpent stung
Look, and forget their pains.

When God`s own Son is lifted up,
A dying world revives;
The Jew beholds the glorious hope,
Th` expiring Gentile lives.
