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!
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!
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!
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!
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!
