| 1 | Behold, behold the Lamb of God |
| On the cross! On the cross! |
| For us He shed His precious blood |
| On the cross! On the cross! |
| Oh hear the overwhelming cry— |
| "Eli lama sabachthani," |
| Draw near and see the Saviour die |
| On the cross! On the cross! |
|
| 2 | See, see His arms extended wide |
| On the cross! On the cross! |
| Behold His bleeding hands and side |
| On the cross! On the cross! |
| The sun withholds his rays of light, |
| The heavens are clothed in shades of night; |
| While Jesus wins the glorious fight |
| On the cross! On the cross! |
|
| 3 | Come, sinners, see Him lifted up |
| On the cross! On the cross! |
| He drinks for you the bitter cup |
| On the cross! On the cross! |
| The rocks do rend, the mountains quake, |
| While Jesus doth atonement make, |
| While Jesus suffers for our sake, |
| On the cross! On the cross! |
|
| 4 | Where'er I go I'll tell the story |
| Of the cross! Of the cross! |
| In nothing else my soul shall glory, |
| Save the cross! Save the cross! |
| Yes; this my constant theme shall be, |
| Through time, and in eternity, |
| That Jesus tasted death for me |
| On the cross! On the cross! |
