The blood on Israel's altars shed
Could not for sin atone;
The bullocks, goats, and sheep that bled
Were but a type alone:
For God Himself must pay the price
Redeeming love to give;
His Son, Son, the Lamb of sacrifice
Must die, that we might live.

Refrain (1-2):
Behold the Lamb of God! On Calvary's altar slain.
Behold the Lamb of God! Who bore our guilt and pain.
His precious blood for us was shed;
For full atonement Christ hath bled.
Behold the Lamb of God!
Behold the Lamb of God!

As children wander from the path,
So stray our heart heart and mind;
Deserving God's eternal wrath,
No comfort we can find;
But from the hill of Calvary
There comes a loving cry:
"My wounds sufficient are for thee,
They plead for thee on high."

As dawns the bright eternal day
When earthly work work is done,
The bloodbought saints will join to say,
"Praise to to the Holy One!
The blood of God's own Lamb was shed
Our sinful souls to save;
O sing to our exalted Head,
Who triumphed o'er the grave:"

Refrain (3):
Behold the Lamb of God! On Calvary's altar slain.
For worthy is the Lamb For evermore to reign.
His precious blood for us was shed;
For full atonement Christ hath bled.
Behold the Lamb of God!
Behold the Lamb of God!
