Look upon the Pierced One

Emmanuel's lifeblood was outpoured to cover all our sin

Plunge us deep within its flow and we shall be made clean

Emmanuel's wounds shall never fail

His precious blood for us avails

Look upon the pierced one

Look on Him and be undone!

His bleeding brow and wounded side and bruised and battered face

The nail pierced hands and feet His glory won't erase.

Emmanuel ever intercedes

He blesses  hearts as his heart bleeds

Look upon the pierced one

Look on Him and be undone!

The blood of sacrifices past

Brought atonement that could never last

When the Savior breathed his dying breath

The work was finished by His death.

He is the lamb for sinners slain

Though dead he has stood up again

So look upon the pierced one

Look on Him and be undone!
