VERSE 1
Come behold the wondrous mystery
2 Corinthians 3:18
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;
Philippians 2:7-8
Took on flesh to ransom us.
John 1:14
VERSE 2
Come behold the wondrous mystery;
He, the perfect Son of Man.
In His living, in His suffering,
Never trace nor stain of sin.
Hebrews 4:15
See the true and better Adam,
1 Corinthians 15:45
Come to save the hell-bound man.
Christ the great and sure fulfillment
Of the law; in Him we stand.
VERSE 3
Come behold the wondrous mystery;
Christ, the Lord upon the tree.2
In the stead of ruined sinners,
Hangs the Lamb in victory.
See the price of our redemption;
See the Father's plan unfold,
Ephesians 1:9
Bringing many sons to glory;
Grace unmeasured, love untold.
VERSE 4
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!2
What a foretaste of deliverance;
How unwavering our hope!
Christ in power resurrected,
As we will be when He comes.
Christ in power resurrected,
As we will be when He comes.
