1 Behold the Lamb of God!
The holy Baptist cries;
Whilst joy inspir'd his pious breast,
And sparkled in his eyes.

2 Let us behold the Lamb;
In him no spot we see;
How patient, gentle, meek and mild!
From guile, from error free.

3 See Jesus, like a lamb
Led to the sacrifice;
And silent as the sheep which dumb
Before his shearer lies

4 Behold this spotless Lamb!
And mark the path he trod!
That blessed road will surely lead
To happiness and God.
