172. Lamb of God, We Bow Before Thee

8.7.
1
Lamb of God, we bow before Thee,
 
Calvary’s tale creation awed;
 
Well may Thy redeemed adore Thee,
 
While we sound this note abroad — 
 
Calvary’s Victim, Calvary’s Victim
 
Vindicates the throne of God.
2
Rock of Ages, rent asunder,
 
Riven neath the wrath of God;
 
Safe within those clefts we wonder,
 
While we sound this note abroad — 
 
Calvary’s Victim, Calvary’s Victim
 
Reconciles our souls to God.
3
Savior God, the altar’s craving
 
Thou hast satisfied with blood;
 
Now in heaven, fresh incense waving,
 
Sweetly sounds this note abroad — 
 
Calvary’s Victim, Calvary’s Victim
 
Fills with joy the heart of God.
4
Man of sorrows, God of glory,
 
Wondrous path Thy foot hath trod;
 
Cross and crown rehearse the story,
 
Joyous sound this note abroad — 
 
Calvary’s Victim, Calvary’s Victim
 
Now adorns the throne of God.
