178. The Unveiled Christ

1 Once our blessed Christ of beauty
Was veiled off from human view;
But through suffering, death, and sorrow
He has rent the veil in two.

Refrain:
O behold the Man of Sorrows!
O behold Him in plain view!
Lo! He is the mighty Conqueror
Since He rent the veil in two;
Lo! He is the mighty Conqueror
Since He rent the veil in two.

2 Yes, He is with God, the Father,
Interceding there for you;
For He is the Well-beloved
Since He rent the veil in two. [Refrain]

3 Holy angels bow before Him,
Men of earth give praises due;
For He is the mighty Conqueror
Since He rent the veil in two. [Refrain]
