and hearts both brave and true.
Behold the Living Saviour
Who makes creation new!
Though slain from the foundation
of all the world we know,
He triumphs over evil,
and in His steps we go.
Remember how in Egypt
God s people decked the door
with blood from lambs to mark them
their sons Death would passo'er.
And now God s Son, the Lamb of God
has shed His Blood to sign
the Cross, the Christian s doorway
into the Life divine.
Death s stronghold could not hold Him.
The gates of hell He smashed.
Christ frees from Satan's clutching
all souls His Blood has washed.
Alive and risen from the dead
in victory to reign,
He soon returns. Behold Him!
Hallelujah! Amen!
