THE LAMB

Behold the Lamb of God, taker away

Of sin by which the world has been debased!

Behold the Lamb of God whose graceful gait

Attracts the souls who follow in the Way!

Worthy the tender Lamb who stands as slain

Since by His sacrifice He overcame

And thus acquired an ambience of grace

Where His redeemed, as kings and priests, shall reign;

And thus acquired His wife with whom to share

His heart of love and an eternal place.

Worthy the Lamb whose fineness will engage

His own through this and every coming age.
