Behold! behold the Lamb of God,
|
|
| 1. | Behold! behold the Lamb of God, |
| | On the cross! On the cross! |
| | For us He shed His precious blood, |
| | On the cross! On the cross! |
| | O hear His all-important cry, |
| | "Eli, lama sabachthani?" |
| | Draw near and see the Savior die, |
| | On the cross! On the cross! |
| 2. | Behold His arms extended wide, |
| | On the cross! On the cross! |
| | Behold His bleeding hands and side, |
| | On the cross! On the cross! |
| | The sun withholds its rays of light, |
| | The heav'ns are clothed in shades of night, |
| | While Jesus wins the glorious fight, |
| | On the cross! On the cross! |
| 3. | By faith we see Him lifted up, |
| | On the cross! On the cross! |
| | He drinks for us the bitter cup, |
| | On the cross! On the cross! |
| | The rocks do rend, the mountains quake, |
| | While Jesus all our sins doth take, |
| | While Jesus suffers for our sake, |
| | On the cross! On the cross! |
| 4. | And now the mighty deed is done, |
| | On the cross! On the cross! |
| | The battle fought, the vict'ry won, |
| | On the cross! On the cross! |
| | To heav'n He turns triumphant eyes; |
| | " 'Tis finished" now, the Conqu'ror cries, |
| | Then bows His sacred head and dies, |
| | On the cross! On the cross! |
| 5. | But now He's ris'n, ascended, crowned, |
| | On the throne! On the throne! |
| | Heav'n's highest place for Him is found, |
| | On the throne! On the throne! |
| | Our hearts we low in worship bow, |
| | And join, as one, to hail Him now: |
| | "Worthy, O Lamb of God, art Thou!" |
| | On the throne! On the throne! |
