Behold the Lamb of God

Behold the Lamb of God!
O Thou for sinners slain,
Let it not be in vain
That Thou hast died;
Thee for my Savior let me take,
My only refuge let me make
Thy pierced side.

Behold the Lamb of God!
Into the sacred flood
Of Thy most precious blood
My soul I cast;
Wash me and make me clean within,
And keep me pure from every sin,
Till life be past.

All hail, incarnate Word,
Thou everlasting Lord,

Grant us with all Thy blessed saints

Verse 4
Behold the Lamb of God!
Worthy is He alone,
To sitteth on the Throne
Of God above;
One with the Ancient of all days,
One with the Comforter in praise,
All light and Love
Worthy is He alone,
To sitteth on the Throne
Of God above;
One with the Ancient of all days,
One with the Comforter in praise,
All light and Love
Dix's hymn proclaims the redemptive work of the Lamb of God with jubilant affirmation.
