Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, 1926- Hymnal: Together in Song #249 (1999) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 No weight of gold or silver
can measure human worth;
no soul secures its ransom
with all the wealth of earth;
no sinners find their freedom
but by the gift unpriced,
the Lamb of God unblemished,
the precious blood of Christ.
2 Our sins, our griefs and troubles,
he bore and made his own;
we hid our faces from him,
rejected and alone.
His wounds are for our healing,
our peace is by his pain.
behold, the Man of Sorrows,
the Lamb for sinners slain.
3 In Christ the past is over,
a new world now begins.
With him we rise to freedom
who saves us from our sins.
We live by faith in Jesus
to make his glory known:
behold, the Man of Sorrows,
the Lamb upon his throne! Topics: Faith; Grace; Grief; Jesus Christ Humanity; Jesus Christ Priesthood and Intercession; Jesus Christ Redeemer; Lamb of God; Name/s of Jesus; New Life in Christ; Proclamation: Witness; Salvation Scripture: 1 Peter 1:17-21 Languages: English Tune Title: KING'S LYNN
