1 "Behold the Lamb! the atoning Lamb,"
Descending from his throne above,
To take our guilt, to bear our shame,
To save our souls, and win our love.
2 Our sins and griefs on him were laid;
He suffering bore the mighty load:
Our ramsom-price he freely paid,
In groans, and pains, and tears, and blood.
3 Salvation is in Jesus' name;
He bids the dying sinner live;
Pardon and peace abound through him--
He doth the Holy Spirit give.
4 The troubled conscience knows his voice,
And all our inmost powers revive;
And sinnes, changed to saints,, rejoice,
Die to the world, to Jesus live.
