4 Verses Lamb Of God Atonement & Redemption

Verse 1

BEHOLD the Saviour of mankind Nailed to the shameful tree! How vast the love that him inclined To bleed and die for thee!

Verse 2

Hark, how he groans! while nature shakes, And earth's strong pillars bend; The temple's veil in sunder breaks, The solid marbles rend.

Verse 3

' Tis done! the precious ransom's paid, " Receive my soul," he cries! See where he bows his sacred head! He bows his head, and dies!

Verse 4

But soon he'll break death's envious chain, And in full glory shine: O Lamb of God! was ever pain, Was ever love, like thine?
