Was veiled off from human view;
But thro' suff'ring, death and sorrow
He has rent the veil in two.
Refrain:
O behold the Man of Sorrows,
O behold Him in plain view;
Lo! He is the mighty conqu'ror,
Since He rent the veil in two.
Lo! He is the mighty conqu'ror,
Since He rent the veil in two.
2 Now He is with God the Father,
Interceding there for you;
For He is the mighty conqu'ror,
Since He rent the veil in two. [Refrain]
3 Holy angels bow before Him,
Men of earth give praises due;
For He is the well-beloved
Since He rent the veil in two. [Refrain]
4 Thro'out time and endless ages,
Heights and depths of love so true;
He alone can be the giver
Since He rent the veil in two. [Refrain] Topics: Christ Atonement, Crucifixion, Suffering and Death; Jesus Our Savior His Life and Ministry Used With Tune: THE UNVEILED CHRIST
