Sinners, behold the Lamb of God
Who takes away our guilt;
Look to the precious, priceless blood,
That Jews and Gentiles spilt.
From Heaven He came to seek and save,
Leaving His blest abode;
To ransom us Himself He gave;
“Behold the Lamb of God.”
He came to take the sinner's place,
And shed his precious blood;
Let Adam's guilty, ruined race
Behold the Lamb of God.
Sinners, to Jesus then draw near,
Invited by His word;
The chief of sinners need not fear,
“Behold the Lamb of God.”
Backsliders, too, the Saviour calls,
And washes in bis blood ;
Arise, return from grievous falls;
Behold the Lamb of God.
In ev'ry state, and time, and place,
Nought plead but Jesu's blood;
However wretched be your case,
Behold the Lamb of God.
Spirit of grace, to us apply
Immanuel’s precious blood;
That we may, with Thy saints on high,
“Behold the Lamb of God.”
