Author: Fawcett Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CLXXIX (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Behold, the sin-atoning Lamb Lyrics: 1 Behold the sin-atoning Lamb,
With wonder, gratitude, and Love;
To take away our guilt and shame,
See him descending from above.
2 Our sins and griefs on him were laid;
He meekly bore the mighty Load;
Our ransom-price he fully paid,
In groans and tears, in sweat and blood.
3 To save a guilty world, he dies;
Sinners behold the bleeding lamb!
To him lift up your longing eyes,
And hope for mercy in his name.
4 Pardon and peace thro' him abound;
He can the richest blessings give;
Salvation in his name is found,
He bids the dying sinner live.
5 Jesus my Lord, I look to thee;
Where else can helpless sinners go?
Thy boundless love shall set me free
From all my wretchedness and woe.
