52*. Behold! Behold the Lamb of God

P.M.
by A. Jukes
1
Behold! behold the Lamb of God
 
On the cross;
 
For us He shed His precious blood,
 
On the cross.
 
Oh, hear the overwhelming cry:
 
"Eli lama sabachthani?"
 
Draw near and see the Savior die
 
On the cross.
“But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.” (John 19:34)
“When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.” (John 19:30)
2
Come, sinner, see Him lifted up
 
On the cross:
 
He drinks for you the bitter cup,
 
On the cross;
 
The rocks do rend, the mountains quake,
 
While Jesus doth atonement make — 
 
While Jesus suffers for our sake,
 
On the cross.
“And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up.” (John 3:14)
“Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.” (Luke 22:42)
3
Where’er I go I’ll tell the story
 
Of the cross;
 
In nothing else my soul shall glory
 
Save the cross;
 
Yea, this my constant theme shall be,
 
Through time and in eternity,
 
That Jesus tasted death for me
 
On the cross.
