O World, Behold Him Dying

O world

be­hold Him dy­ing

Who is thy life sup­ply­ing;

Behold! He dies for Thee:

He who in glo­ry reign­eth

No scorn

no shame dis­dain­eth

From end­less death my soul to free.

Now from my Sav­ior flow­eth

The blood His love be­stow­eth

On us

that we may live!

What grief His Spir­it rend­eth!

Whilst thus He con­des­cend­eth

His life for us His foes to give!

Of His own will He di­eth

Who to His Fa­ther cri­eth

O Fa­ther! mer­cy show:

Come

child­ren of trans­gress­ion;

To Je­sus make con­fess­ion;

Your all to His great love you owe.
