 * Shall soon behold our God,
 * But not as crucified;

The Lamb His vesture dipp'd in blood
 * At last hath laid aside:
 * As God's eternal Son
 * He now appears above,

And sits upon His dazzling throne
 * Of everlasting love.


 * Is this the Man of woe,
 * Whom glorious now we see!

The Man who suffer'd want below,
 * And shame, and agony!
 * Who here insulted was,
 * And scourged, and crucified,

Hung pierced, and naked on the cross,
 * And bled, and groan'd, and died!

'Tis He! the Prince of peace! 'Tis He! the Lord of power! Whom all these shining hosts of His
 * Their Maker God adore:
 * He suffer'd in our stead,
 * That we with Him might reign;

But He shall never bow His head,
 * Shall never die again.





receive Our heartiest praise, For bidding us live To witness Thy grace, For bringing us hither Thy goodness to prove, And triumph together In Jesus's love.
