Behold
“Behold the Lamb of God” (John 1:36).
Sometime in the late 1700’s, Joseph Hoskins wrote the following hymn, which I believe is a good focus for us today as we remember that mighty work done at Calvary.
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.
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.
