What a Sight!''

Back to THE LOVINGNESS OF JESUS 2

---

(David Harsha, "Christ Crucified")

The death of Christ was the most affecting 
and solemn scene ever presented to the view 
of men or angels.

What a sight! to see Christ on the cross 
bleeding for sinners!

How astonishing! to see the King of glory, 
whom all the angels of heaven worship and 
adore, bow his head in death!

Earth never before witnessed such a sight!

Heaven never before looked upon such a scene.

O my soul, draw near and contemplate it.

Look towards Calvary with the cross erected 
in your view, and behold the Son of God nailed 
to the accursed tree, his blessed hands, and 
side and feet pierced, his blood streaming from 
every pore, until pallid death sits upon his 
heavenly brow, and he cries, "Father, into 
your hands I commend my spirit."
