Lyrics

Behold, be­hold the won­drous love,
That ev­er flows from God above
Through Christ His on­ly Son, who gave
His pre­cious blood our souls to save.

Refrain

All praise and glo­ry be un­to Je­sus
For He hath pur­chased a full sal­va­tion;
Behold how won­drous the pro­cla­ma­tion,
Whosoever will may come!

Behold a fount­ain in His side,
To all the world is op­ened wide;
Where all may come, by sin op­pressed,
And find in Him sweet peace and rest.

Refrain

Behold Him now ex­alt­ed high
Above the bright and star­ry sky;
Yet through His word He call­eth still,
Come un­to Me, who­ev­er will.

Refrain

Behold in Him the Liv­ing way,
That on­ward leads to end­less day;
Where, saved by grace, the ran­somed throng
Lift up the ev­er­last­ing song.
