Behold the Sin Atoning Lamb
}
Behold the sin atoning Lamb,
With wonder, gratitude and love;
To take away our guilt and shame,
See Him descending from above!
Our sins and griefs on Him were laid;
He meekly bore the mighty load;
Our ransom price He fully paid,
In groans and tears, in sweat and blood.
To save a guilty world, He dies;
Sinners, behold the bleeding Lamb!
To Him lift up your longing eyes,
And hope for mercy in His name.
Pardon and peace through Him abound;
He can the richest blessings give;
Salvation in His name is found,
He bids the dying sinner live.
Jesus, my Lord, I look to Thee;
Where else can helpless sinners go?
Thy boundless love shall set me free
From all my wretchedness and woe.
