- 1Behold, the blind their sight receive!
- Behold, the dead awake and live!
- The dumb speak wonders, and the lame
- Leap like the hart, and bless His name.
- 2Thus doth th'eternal Spirit own
- And seal the mission of the Son;
- The Father vindicates His cause,
- While He hangs bleeding on the cross.
- 3He dies; the heavens in mourning stood;
- He rises, and appears a God.
- Behold the Lord ascending high,
- No more to bleed, no more to die.
- 4Hence, and forever, from my heart
- I bid my doubts and fears depart;
- And to those hands my soul resign,
- Which bear credentials so divine.
