83*. Behold the Lamb! 'Tis He Who Bore

C.M.
by T. Haweis
1
Behold the Lamb! ’tis He who bore
 
My sins upon the tree;
 
And paid in death the dreadful score — 
 
The guilt that lay on me.
“The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” (John 1:29)
“And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!” (John 1:36)
“Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.” (1 Peter 2:24)
2
I’d look to Him till sight endear
 
The Savior to my heart;
 
To Him I look who calms my fear,
 
Nor from Himself would part.
“Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” (Luke 12:32)
3
I’d look until His precious love
 
My every thought control,
 
Its vast, constraining influence prove
 
O’er body, spirit, soul.
4
To Him I look, while still I run — 
 
My never-failing Friend!
 
Finish, He will, the work begun,
 
And grace in glory end.
“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12:1-2)
“Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” (Hebrews 13:5)
“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.” (Philippians 1:6)
“But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.” (1 Peter 5:10)
