O Spotless Lamb of God, in Thee

O Spotless Lamb of God, in Thee The Father's holiness we see; And with delight Thy children trace, In Thee, His wondrous love and grace.

For Thou didst leave Thy throne above To teach us that our God is Love; And now we see His glory shine In every word and deed of Thine.

When we behold Thee, Lamb of God, Beneath our sin's tremendous load, Expiring on the accursed tree, How great our guilt with grief we see.

There we with joy Thy grace behold; Its height and depth can ne'er be told! It bursts our chains and sets us free, And sweetly draws our souls to Thee.

The cross reveals Thy love below; But better soon our hearts shall know, When we behold Thy face above, The fullness of our Father's love.
