Behold! behold the Lamb of God!

Hymnal: The Southern Harmony, and Musical Companion (New ed. thoroughly rev. and much enl.) #320 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. Behold, behold the Lamb of God, On the cross, on the cross! He sheds for you his precious blood On the cross, on the cross! O hear his all important cry, "Eli, lama sabachthani;" Draw near and see your Savior die On the cross, on the cross! 2. 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 withhold his rays of light, The heavens are clothed in shades of night, While Jesus doth with devils fight On the cross, on the cross! 3. Come, sinners, see him lifted up On the cross, on the cross! For you he drinks 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! 4. And now the mighty deed is done On the cross, on the cross! The battle's fought, the victory's won On the cross, on the cross! To heaven he turns his dying eyes; 'Tis finished! now the Conqueror cries; Then bows his sacred head and dies On the cross, on the cross! 5. Where'er I go I'll tell the story Of the cross, of the cross! Of nothing else my soul shall glory Save the cross, save the cross! Yea, this my constant theme shall be Through time and in eternity, That Jesus tasted death for me On the cross, on the cross! 6. Let every mourner rise and cling, To the cross, to the cross! Let every Christian come and sing, Round the cross, round the cross! There let the preacher take his stand, And, with the Bible in his hand, Declare the triumphs through the land, Of the cross, of the cross!

Behold! Behold the Lamb of God

Author: Richard Jukes Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #426 Lyrics: 1. Behold! behold the Lamb of God, On the cross; For us He sheds His precious blood On the cross. O hear His all important cry, Why perish, blood bought sinner, why? Draw near and see your Savior die On the cross. 2. Behold His arms extended wide On the cross; Behold His bleeding hands and side On the cross. The sun withholds his rays of light, The heav’ns are clothed in shades of night, While Jesus does with devils fight On the cross. 3. Come, sinners, see Him lifted up On the cross; He drinks for you the bitter cup On the cross. The rocks do rend, the mountains quake, While Jesus doth atonement make, While Jesus suffers for our sake On the cross. 4. And now the mighty deed is done On the cross; The battle’s fought, the victory’s won On the cross. To Heav’n he turns His dying eyes; ’Tis finished! now the Conqueror cries; Then bows His sacred head and dies On the cross. 5. Where’er I go I’ll tell the story Of the cross; In nothing else my soul shall glory Save the cross. Yes, this my constant theme shall be Through time and eternity, That Jesus tasted death for me On the cross. Languages: English Tune Title: BEHOLD THE LAMB

On the Cross

Hymnal: Light in the Valley #106 (1898) First Line: Behold! behold! the Lamb of God Lyrics: 1 Behold! behold! the Lamb of God, On the cross, on the cross; For you he shed his precious blood, On the cross, on the cross. Now hear his agonizing cry, "Eloi Lama Sabacthani;" Draw near and see your Saviour die On the cross, on the cross. 2 Come, sinners, see him lifted up, On the cross, on the cross; For you he drinks the bitter cup, On the cross, on the cross. To heav'n he turns his languid eye, "'Tis finished," now the conqu'ror cries, Then bows his sacred head and dies, On the cross, on the cross. 3 'Tis done! the mighty deed is done, On the cross, on the cross; The battle fought, the vic'try won, On the cross, on the cross. The rocks do rend, the mountains quake, While Jesus doth atonement make, While Jesus suffers for your sake On the cross, on the cross. 4 Where'er I go, I'll tell the story Of the cross, of the cross; In nothing else my soul shall glory, Save the cross, save the cross. Yes, this my constant theme shall be, Thro' time and in eternity, That Jesus suffered death for me On the cross, on the cross.

F. E. Belden

1858 - 1945 Person Name: F. E. B. Arranger of "[Behold, behold the Lamb of God]" in Christ in Song Belden was born in Battle Creek, Michigan in 1858. He began writing music in his late teenage years after moving to California with his family. For health reasons he later moved to Colorado. He returned to Battle Creek with his wife in the early 1880s, and there he became involved in Adventist Church publishing. F. E. Belden wrote many hymn tunes, gospel songs, and related texts in the early years of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Belden was able to rapidly write both music and poetry together which enabled him to write a song to fit a sermon while it was still being delivered. He also wrote songs for evang­el­ist Bil­ly Sun­day. Though Belden’s later years were marred by misunderstandings with the church leadership over his royalties, he did donate his papers and manuscripts to the church’s seminary at his death. He died on December 2, 1945 in Battle Creek, Michigan. N.N., Hymnary. Source: http://www.hymntime.com/tch/bio/b/e/l/belden_fe.htm

Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Author of "On the Cross" in Christ in Song In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

C. Austin Miles

1868 - 1946 Composer of "[Behold! behold! the Lamb of God]" in Light in the Valley Charles Austin Miles USA 1868-1946. Born at Lakehurst, NJ, he attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and the University of PA. He became a pharmacist. He married Bertha H Haagen, and they had two sons: Charles and Russell. In 1892 he abandoned his pharmacy career and began writing gospel songs. At first he furnished compositions to the Hall-Mack Publishing Company, but soon became editor and manager, where he worked for 37 years. He felt he was serving God better in the gospel song writing business, than as a pharmacist. He published the following song books: “New songs of the gospel” (1900), “The service of praise” (1900), “The voice of praise” (1904), “The tribute of song” (1904), “New songs of the gospel #2” (1905), “Songs of service” (1910), “Ideal Sunday school hymns” (1912). He wrote and/or composed 400+ hymns. He died in Philadelphia, PA. John Perry
