Behold! behold the Lamb of God (200)

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;
Oh! hear His sad heart-rending cry,
"Eli lama sabachthani!"
Draw near and see your Saviour die
One 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 heavens are clothed in shades of night,
While Jesus wins the glorious fight,
On the cross, on the cross.

Come, sinners, 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 doth atonement make,
While Jesus suffers for our sake,
On the cross, on the cross.
