"BEHOLD, THE LAMB OF GOD!"
By Flora E. Yergin
Ho! every one whose heart is full of anguish,
And all who thirst for waters cool and pure;
Come, ye who on a bed of sickness languish,
And know no way sin's dreadful ills to cure;
Look now where stands the cross of Calvary,—
Behold, the Lamb of God! His purpose see. Behold Him giving life to all the dying;
A bright and shining light amid earth's gloom;
He loves the souls of those who crucify Him;
He dies for those who send Him to the tomb.
Amid the sin,—above all sin is He,—
O soul, behold the Lamb of Calvary! Behold Him! there is life in thus beholding;
The night shall vanish at the light of day;
The heart will yearn for higher things while looking
At Him who is the Life, the Truth, the Way;
And paths of sin will all forgotten be,
While gazing at the Lamb of Calvary. Behold Him! thus in viewing all His glories
Thy tongue shall speak of all He came to give;
And others passing by with hearts of sadness,
Shall hear of Jesus' love, and look and live,—
And thou shalt share in the blest ministry
Of Him who died—the Lamb of Calvary.
