43. "Behold the Lamb" Enthroned on High

P.M.
by G.W. Frazer
1
"Behold the Lamb" enthroned on high,
 
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.
 
In Him we are to God brought nigh,
 
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.
 
He who on Calvary’s cross has bled,
 
He who was numbered with the dead,
 
Exalted now o’er all as Head,
 
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.
2
"Complete in Him" at God’s right hand,
 
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.
 
Before the throne we boldly stand,
 
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.
 
The blood-besprinkled mercy-seat,
 
His piercèd side, His hands, and feet,
 
Proclaim redemption’s work complete.
 
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.
3
God finds eternal rest in Him,
 
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.
 
That rest which was disturbed by sin,
 
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.
 
We too by faith on Him repose,
 
Who did the Father’s heart disclose,
 
From which this full salvation flows.
 
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.
4
As one with Him we rest secure,
 
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.
 
Unchanging doth His work endure,
 
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.
 
Now seated on the Father’s throne,
 
Elect and precious cornerstone,
 
On Him we rest — on Him alone.
 
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.
