While in the agonies of death
The Saviour yields his latest breath,
We, too, would mount on Calvary's height,
And contemplate the wondrous sight!
O Lamb of God, by faith we see
How all our hopes are fixed on thee:
Thy cross we see ordained by Heaven
For man to look, and be forgiven.
By this thy saints to glory come;
By this they brave the martyr's doom:
In this the surest proof we find
Of God's vast love to lost mankind.
O banner of the cross, unfurled
To shine with glory through the world,
O may we ever cleave to thee,
And thou shalt our salvation be!
