Come Behold The Wondrous Mystery

Come behold the wondrous mystery 
In the dawning of the King 
He, the theme of heaven’s praises
Robed in frail humanity

In our longing, in our darkness
Now the light of life has come! 
Look to Christ who condescended
Took on flesh to ransom us

Come behold the wondrous mystery 
He the perfect Son of man
In His living, in His suffering 
Never trace nor stain of sin

See the true and better Adam
Come to save the hellbound man 
Christ the great and sure fulfillment 
Of the law; in Him we stand  

Come behold the wondrous mystery
Christ the Lord upon the tree
In the stead of ruined sinners 
Hangs the Lamb in victory!

See the price of our redemption
See the Father’s plan unfold
Bringing many sons to glory
Grace unmeasured, love untold!  

Come behold the wondrous mystery
Slain by death the God of life 
But no grave could e’er restrain Him 
Praise the Lord, He is alive!

What a foretaste of deliverance 
How unwavering our hope 
Christ in power resurrected
As we will be when He comes
