LYRICS – “COME BEHOLD THE WONDROUS MYSTERY”

(Verse 1) 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

(Verse 2) 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

(Verse 3) 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

(Verse 4) 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
Christ in power resurrected
As we will be when he comes

And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

Beautiful song and version. I found myself feeling sad for the blonde woman on the far left. She was shown barely at all. It was almost like the filmographer was avoiding her. Just seemed odd. Song was great. Why not give everyone equal camera time?

[whotookjimirocket]

i've recently been developing my taste for music like this, it's amazing. first heard something like this at ShepCon

Does sheet music exist for this somewhere? The link to lifeway is broken.
