The Lamb of God |  |
| Hymn Tune by Bill Fiess | ||
| But
when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law so that we might receive the adoption as sons. --Galatians 4: 4,5 |
When the time had fully come
God, the Father, sent us His Son.
In a stable God's Lamb lay
In a manger on the hay.
For to whom was this revealed
But to shepherds tending their sheep.
With great joy they found God's Lamb
Wrapped in swaddling clothes, asleep.
Isaac said to Abraham,
"Here's the wood, but where is the lamb?"
"Son, God Himself will provide."
Crowned with thorns, God's Lamb would die.
God's Passover Lamb was slain,
Bearing our sins, suff'ring our shame.
Rais'd in power from the dead,
Christ has crushed the serpent's head!
Each has turned to his own way.
All we like sheep have gone astray.
Seek the Shepherd! Come to Him!
He will wash away your sin.
