Behold the Savior

Behold the Savior of mankind
Nailed to the shameful tree;
How vast the love that Him inclined
To bleed and die for you and me!
Hark how He groans! while nature shakes,
And earth’s strong pillars bend!
The temple’s veil in sunder breaks,
The solid marbles rend
It is done! The precious ransom’s paid,
“Receive my soul!” He cries;
See where He bows His sacred head!
He bows His head and then He dies.
Soon He’ll break death’s envious chain
And in full glory shine.
O Lamb of God, was ever pain,
Or was ever love like Thine?
It is done! The precious ransom’s paid,
“Receive my soul!” He cries;
See where He bows His sacred head!
He bows His head and then He dies.
To lead us on to paradise.
Yes, He rises again
To lead us home to paradise!
Behold the Savior of mankind
Nailed to the shameful tree;
How vast the love that Him inclined
To bleed and die for you and me!
