If you could see Christ stand­ing here to­night,
His thorn-crowned head
And pierc­èd hands could view,
Could see those eyes that beam
With Heav’n’s own light,
And hear Him say—Be­lov­èd, ’twas for you.

Refrain

Would you be­lieve, and Je­sus re­ceive,
If He were stand­ing here?
Would you be­lieve, and Je­sus re­ceive,
If He were stand­ing here?

If you could see that face, so calm and sweet,
Those lips that spoke words on­ly pure and true,
Could see the nail prints in His ten­der feet,
And hear Him say—Be­lov­èd, ’twas for you.

Refrain

He whis­pers to your heart, turn not away,
For He’s be­side you in your nar­row pew;
If you will list­en, you will hear Him say,
In lov­ing tones—Be­lov­èd, ’twas for you.

Will you be­lieve, and Je­sus re­ceive?
For He is stand­ing here;
Will you be­lieve, and Je­sus re­ceive?
For He is stand­ing here.
