About this Hymn
Our churches and worship gatherings should be filled with the passionate celebration of the gospel. We must preach the gospel. We must sing the gospel. Our songs must be saturated with the gospel. So give people the story, for the sake of the nations. People will fall in love with him. People who are in love do crazy things, like change the world. – Matt Papa
Lyrics
Verse 1
Come, behold the wondrous myst'ry, 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 myst'ry, he the perfect Son of Man. In his living, in his suff'ring, 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 myst'ry, 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 myst'ry, 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 deliv'rance, how unwavering our hope: Christ in power resurrected as we will be when he comes.
