Why that look of sadness?
1
Why that look of sadness?Why that downcast eye?Can no thought of gladnessLift thy soul on high?
2
O thou heir of heaven,Think of Jesus' love,While to thee is givenAll his grace to prove.
3
Is thy burdened spiritAgonized for sin?Think of Jesus' merit;He can make thee clean;
4
Think of Calvary's mountain,Where his blood was spilt;In that precious fountainWash away thy guilt.
5
Set the prize before thee;Gird thy armor on:Heir of grace and glory,Struggle for thy crown.
