Behold the Savior of the World Lyrics

Behold the Savior of the world
Embrued with sweat and gore
Expiring on that shameful cross
Where He our sorrows bore!

Compassion for lost human race
Brought down God's only Son
To veil in flesh His radiant face
And for their sins atone

Who can to love His name forbear
That of His sufferings hears
And finds, the ransom of his soul
Was blood as well as tears?

Thy sacred blood, O Son of God!
Which ran from many a wound
When earth and hell's malicious powers
All compassed Thee around

Joy for Thy torments we receive
Life in Thy death have found
For the reproaches of Thy cross
Shall be with glory crowned

May we a grateful sense retain
Of Thy redeeming love!
And live below like those that hope
To live with Thee above!
