lyrics

VERSE 1:
Behold! behold the Lamb of God on the cross, on the cross;
For us He sheds his precious blood on the cross.
O hear His all-important cry,
Why perish, blood-bought sinner, why?
Draw near and see your Savior die
On the cross, on the cross, on the cross, on the cross.

VERSE 2:
Behold His arms extended wide on the cross, on the cross;
Behold His bleeding hands and side on the cross.
The sun withholds his rays of light,
The heavens are clothed in shades of night,
While Jesus does with devils fight
On the cross, on the cross, on the cross, on the cross.

VERSE 3:
Come, sinners, see Him lifted up on the cross, 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, on the cross, on the cross, on the cross.

VERSE 4:
And now the mighty deed is done on the cross, on the cross;
The battle's fought, the victory's won on the cross.
To Heaven He turns his dying eyes;
'Tis finished! now the Conqueror cries;
Then bows His sacred head and dies
On the cross, on the cross,
On the cross, on the cross,
On the cross, on the cross, on the cross, on the cross.

VERSE 5:
Where'er I go I'll tell the story of the cross, of the cross;
In nothing else my soul shall glory save the cross.
Yes, this my constant theme shall be
Through time and in eternity,
That Jesus tasted death for me
On the cross, on the cross, on the cross, on the cross.
