Behold the Savior of Mankind

Author: Samuel Wesley, Sr. Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 387 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold the Savior of mankind Nailed to the shameful tree! How vast the love that Him inclined 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? Amen.
