Light of the Lamb

"In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.... That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.... And of His fullness have all we received, and grace for grace. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.... Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world" (John 1:4-29).

Behold the Lamb of God today
Who shines the light of His salvation.
He gave His life to take away
The sin that called for condemnation.

Behold, His light in darkness shines
And of His fullness we receive,
For grace and truth in Him combines
To save those who on Him believe!

The law that Moses gave was light
That showed how far from God we fell.
Behold the Lamb, that wondrous sight,
Whose grace delivers us from hell!

We thank You, Lord, for light that came
With heaven's love and life so full.
O Lamb of God, we praise Your name
For grace and truth that saves our soul!
