15958. Behold The Lamb Of God

1 The stormy path of earthly life
In human guise He trod,
When first the blest assurance comes,
Behold the Lamb of God!

Refrain:
O when our Lord shall come again,
Be this the song we sing,
Behold the Lamb who once was slain
Our Savior and our King.

2 The Lamb of God once sacrificed,
To save a world from sin,
Thro’ Him alone we come to God,
And life eternal win. [Refrain]

3 To bear our griefs He meekly bowed
Beneath the chastening rod,
’Tis by His stripes our souls are healed,
The perfect Lamb of God! [Refrain]

4 They knew Him not for whom He left
The realms of light above,
Despised by those for whom He died,
O wondrous depth of love! [Refrain]
