Hail the perfect Lamb of God A kingly ransom paid When You, my Lord, were slain Love unrivaled here displayed Calls my heart to praise The perfect Lamb of God
The light of day was cloaked by night And heaven closed its eyes Wrath unspared for countless sins The guiltless crucified Hands of kindness driven through Back on splintered beam The holy curtain torn in two Atonement made for me
Insults mock the Son of God The angels are restrained But all the cup must be endured For sinners to be saved Can grace prevail in such a day Of scandal and of scorn? But with a cry “Forgive” You claim Traitors as Your own
As You drew Your final breath My debt was satisfied And love divine in glorious might Would vanquish death and rise
