Hymnal: A Pocket hymn book, designed as a constant companion for the pious #VI (1788) Lyrics: 1 Behold the Saviour of mankind
Nail'd to the shameful tree;
How vast the Love that him inclin'd
To bleed and die for thee!
2 Hark. how he groans! while nature shakes,
And earth's strong pillars bend!
The temple's veil in sunder breaks,
The solid marbles rend.
3 'Tis done! the precious ransom's paid,
"Receive my soul," he cries!
See, where he bows his sacred head!
He bows his head and dies.
4 But soon he'll break death's envious chain,
And in full glory shine;
O Lamb of God! was ever pain,
Was ever love like thine! Topics: Awakening and Inviting Languages: English
