I look to Christ, the horn of my salvation,
to Him alone: I have no other stay,
for Christ alone is all my life's foundation;
one look on Him and sorrows fly away.
I look to Christ, my shield and my deliverer,
my God, my Rock, my Light and strength divine;
I look to Him who looks on me with favor:
in Christ alone a perfect righteousness is mine.
I look to Christ, majestic King of glory.
O, who am I, who from His death should gain?
One look at sin, ten looks to Christ my Surety:
the Lamb of God who took my guilt and shame.
I look to Christ: what flood of adoration!
My heart exults to magnify His name!
No greater love was shown than by my Savior:
I fix my eyes on Him, and look, and look again.

Hebrews 12, & R.M. McCheyne;
