Song Book

BEHOLD! behold the Lamb of God
On the cross, on the cross;
For us he sheds his precious blood
On the cross, on the cross.
O hear his all-important cry,
Why perish, blood-bought sinner, why?
Draw near and see your Saviour die
On the cross, on the cross.

2 Behold his arms extended wide
On the cross, on the cross;
Behold his bleeding hands and side
On the cross, on the cross.
The sun withholds his rays of light,
The heavens are clothed in shades of night,
While Jesus does with devils fight
On the cross, on the cross.

3 Come, sinners, see him lifted up
On the cross, on the cross;
He drinks for you the bitter cup
On the cross, on the cross.
The rocks do rend, the mountains quake,
While Jesus doth atonement make,
While Jesus suffers for our sake
On the cross, on the cross.

4 And now the mighty deed is done
On the cross, on the cross;
The battle?s fought, the victory?s won
On the cross, on the cross.
To Heaven he turns his dying eyes;
?Tis finished! now the conqueror cries;
Then bows his sacred head and dies
On the cross, on the cross.

5 Where?er I go I?ll tell the story
Of the cross, of the cross;
In nothing else my soul shall glory
Save the cross, save the cross.
Yes, this my constant theme shall be
Through time and in eternity,
That Jesus tasted death for me
On the cross, on the cross.
