Text: | Behold the Savior of mankind |
Author: | S. Wesley, Sr. |
1 Behold the Saviour of mankind
Nailed to the shameful tree!
How vast the love that him inclined
To bleed and die for me.
2 Hark! how he groans, while nature shakes,
And earth's strong pillars bend!
The temple's veil asunder breaks,
The solid marbles rend.
3 'Tis finished! now the ransom's paid;
Receive my soul! he cries:
See, how he bows his sacred head!
He bows his head, and dies!
4 But soon he'll break death's iron chain,
And in full glory shine;
O Lamb of God! was ever pain,
Was ever love like thine?
