I see thy cross -- there teach my heart to cling: oh, let me seek thee, and oh, let me find! 4 Teach me to feel that thou art always nigh: teach me the struggles of the soul to bear, to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh: teach me the patience of unanswered prayer. 5 Teach me to love thee as thine angels love, one holy passion filling all my frame -- the baptism of the heaven-descended Dove, my heart an altar, and thy love the flame.

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!'
