John Newton - On One Stone Shall Be Seven Eyes
Work rating: Low

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.
