Verse 1 Behold, behold the Lamb of God On the cross! On the cross!
For us He shed His precious blood On the cross! On the cross!
Oh hear His all- important cry― "Why perish, blood- bought sinner, why?"
Draw near and see the Saviour die 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! On the cross!
The sun withholds his rays of light, The heav'ns are clothed in shades of night;
While Jesus wins the glorious fight 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! 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!

Verse 4 And now the mighty deed is done On the cross, On the cross;
The battle’s fought, the vic'try’s won On the cross, On the cross.
To heav'n He turns His dying eyes; ‘Tis finished! now the conqu'ror cries;
Then bows his sacred head and dies 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! Save the cross!
Yes; this my constant theme shall be, Thro' time, and in eternity,
That Jesus tasted death for me On the cross! On the cross!
