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 Saviour 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!
