Behold! behold the Lamb of God

lyricist: Joseph Hoskins

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!
