LyicsBehold the Man! How glorious he!
Before his foes he stands unawed,
And, without wrong or blasphemy,
He claims equality with God.
Behold the Man! by all condemn'd,
Assaulted by a host of foes;
His person and his claims contemn'd,
A Man of suffering and of woes.
Behold the Man! he stands alone,
His foes are ready to devour;
Not one of all his friends will own
Their master in this trying hour.
Behold the Man! though scorn'd below,
He bears the greatest name above;
The angels at his foostool bow,
And all his royal claims approve.
