Behold the Lamb. Behold the Lamb
Slain from the foundation of the world
For sinners crucified, O Holy Sacrifice
Behold the Lamb of God, behold the Lamb!
The skies shall unfold, preparing His entrance
The stars shall applaud Him with thunders of praise
The sweet light in His eyes shall enhance those awaiting
And we shall behold Him, then face to face
And we shall behold Him. We shall behold Him
Face to face in all of His glory
We shall behold Him. We shall behold Him
Face to face, our Savior and Lord
The angel shall sound the shout of His coming
And the sleeping shall rise from their slumbering place
And those who remain shall be changed in a moment
And we shall behold Him, then face to face
We shall behold Him
We shall behold Him
Face to face in all of His glory
We will crown Him! We will crown Him!
Worthy is the Lamb
We will praise, Him. We will praise Him!
Heav'n and earth resound!
Behold the Lamb. Behold the Lamb
Slain from the foundation of the world
For sinners crucified, O Holy Sacrifice
Behold the Lamb of God. Behold the Lamb
We shall behold Him, our Savior and Lord, the Lamb of God
Behold the Lamb!
