Perfect Lamb Of God

Hail the perfect Lamb of God
 kingly ransom paid
 When You, my Lord, were slain
 Love unrivaled here displayed
 Calls my heart to praise
 The perfect Lamb of God

 The light of day was cloaked by night
 And heaven closed its eyes
 Wrath unspared for countless sins
 The guiltless crucified
 Hands of kindness driven through
 Back on splintered beam
 The holy curtain torn in two
 Atonement made for me

 Insults mock the Son of God
 The angels are restrained
 But all the cup must be endured
 For sinners to be saved
 Can grace prevail in such a day
 Of scandal and of scorn?
 But with a cry “Forgive” You claim
 Traitors as Your own

 As You drew Your final breath
 My debt was satisfied
 And love divine in glorious might
 Would vanquish death and rise
