Author: M. Bridges Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #265 (1913) Meter: 6.6.6.4.8.8.4 Hymnal Title: The Lutheran Hymnary Lyrics: 1 Behold the Lamb of God!
O Thou for sinners slain,
Let it not be in vain
That Thou hast died:
Thee for my Savior let me take,
My only refuge let me make
Thy piercéd side.
2 Behold the Lamb of God!
Into the sacred flood
Of thy most precious blood
My soul I cast:
Wash me and make me clean within,
And keep me pure from every sin,
Till life be past.
3 Behold the Lamb of God!
All hail, incarnate Word,
Thou everlasting Lord,
Savior most blest;
Fill us with love that never faints,
Grant us with all thy blessed saints,
Eternal rest.
4 Behold the Lamb of God!
Worthy is He alone,
That sitteth on the throne
Of God above;
One with the Ancient of all days,
One with the Comforter in praise,
All light and love. Topics: The Church Year Quinquagesima; The Church Year Quinquagesima; Jesus Christ Our Atoner Tune Title: [Behold the Lamb of God]
