Behold the Lamb of God! by Matthew Bridges, 1848 ECCE AGNUS—Neues Gesangbuch, Dresden, 1593, ab. Behold the Lamb of God! 1 Behold the Lamb of God! O thou for sinners slain, Let it not be in vain That thou hast died: Thee for my Saviour let me take, My only refuge let me male Thy pierced side. 2 Behold the Lamb of God! Into the sacred flood Of thy most precious blood My soul I cast: Wash me and make me clean within, And keep me pure from every sin, Till life be past. 3 Behold the Lamb of God!
