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 hell-bound man
Christ the great and sure fulfillment Of the law; in Him we stand
On Christ the solid rock I stand All other ground is sinking sand
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
Grace unmeasured, love untold (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, our hope!
Christ in power resurrected As we will be when he comes
On Christ the solid rock I stand
I stand
