16159. Ye Mourning Saints Behold

1 Ye mourn­ing saints, be­hold
The Lamb that once was slain;
See, see Him on the cross ex­pire,
In ago­niz­ing pain.

2 The fruits of glo­ry grow
On that ac­curs­èd tree;
The Sav­ior dies, the sin­ner lives,
His bond­age sets us free.

3 The law He sa­tis­fied,
And paid the debt we owed,
Atoned our guilt, our grief sus­tained,
A vast op­press­ive load.

4 ’Tis from His dy­ing groans,
Our loud ho­san­nas rise;
By faith in Him our souls as­pire
To man­sions in the skies.

5 In our unit­ed songs,
Let us His grace pro­claim;
For us He died and rose again,
Exalted be His name.
