The arms of love that compass me, hold all the human race, hold all the human race. 5 His only righteousness I show, his saving grace proclaim; 'tis all my business here below to cry, 'Behold the Lamb!' to cry, 'Behold the Lamb!' 6 Happy, if with my latest breath I may but gasp his name; preach him to all, and cry in death: 'Behold, behold the Lamb!'
