Behold!



Behold, I see the Lamb in all His glory

On Mount Zion He stands with His multitudes

Trumpet blasts resound, the horns echo

Declaring His victory, proclaiming His triumph

Behold, I see the Lamb in all His glory
Though He was beaten and slain
And drenched with tears and blood
Now He stands, triumphant and conquering

Behold, I see the Lamb in all His glory
His saints around him, those sealed in His name
Together they sang in melodious harmony
The joyous song of heaven’s new anthem

Behold, I see the Lamb in all His glory
Almighty and strong, powerful in battle
He rules the nations with a rod of iron
And smashes them like jars of clay

Behold, I see the Lamb in all His glory
The victorious King of all the earth
Though the nations raged with brute and brawn
He blows them off with breath from His nostrils

Behold, I see the Lamb in all His glory
Though kings and generals plot against Him
Armies and strong men rally to fight Him
With the sword from His mouth He conquers them all

Behold, I see the Lamb in all His glory
The righteous Judge of all the earth
He rewards the faithful who stand for His name
He blesses those who are truthful to His message

Behold, I see the Lamb in all His glory
Though the wicked conspire against the righteous
Though they oppress the saints of the Lord
He repays the evil and vindicates His people

Behold, I see the Lamb in all His glory
Coming on the clouds of storm and fire
The heavens roll back, the skies recede
They tremble at the wake of His coming

Behold, I see the Lamb in all His glory
Bringing His Kingdom to full consummation
The earth renewed, creation restored
The sons of man seen for who they truly are

Behold, I see the Lamb in all His glory
Lift up your heads you ancient gates
Be lifted up O you doors
That the King of glory may come in

Behold, I see the Lamb in all His glory
Riding into Zion on a white horse
Behind him are saints and heavenly hosts
Declaring ‘Holy, holy, holy’ is the Lord

Behold, I see the Lamb in all His glory
His eyes blazing with fire, His feet like burnished bronze
His hair was white as snow, His voice like rushing waters
His face shone like the sun, radiant in all its glory

Behold, I see the Lamb in all His glory
Seated on the throne of jasper and carnelian
Around Him was a rainbow shining like an emerald
And before Him was a sea of smooth glass

Behold, I see the Lamb in all His glory
He will restore the inheritance of all nations
They will rebuild the ruins of their towns and cities
They will dwell again in the land promised to them

Behold, I see the Lamb in all His glory
He will pour out to man the richness of His blessings
They will drink from the streams of living water
They will live in the land and eat of its produce

Behold, I see the Lamb in all His glory
He will renew the broken-hearted and restore the weary
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes
There will no longer be sin, and death, and disease

Behold, I see the Lamb in all His glory
He will be with His people forever and ever
He will be their temple, the centre of their worship
He will be their lamp, His radiance shining on them all

Behold, I see the Lamb in all His glory
Soon He will come to fulfill all these promises
All the powers and elements that rule over me
Will soon dissolve in the flames of judgement

Behold, I see the Lamb in all His glory
The joy of God’s people, the hope of His saints
He has won the victory over sin and death
And He will come again in glory and power

Behold, I see the Lamb in all His glory
Praise Him, therefore, all the people of the earth
Raise the anthem, lift up your voices
Exalt His name above all kings of the earth

Behold, I see the Lamb in all His glory
The King of Kings, and the Lord of Lords
Raise the banner to proclaim His name
That all may know the glory of the Lamb
