Behold the Man! how glorious He!

Thomas Kelly • English

Primary Scripture: John 19:5

Verse 1

Behold the Man! how glorious he! Before his foes he stands unmoved, And, without wrong or blasphemy, He claims equality with God.

Verse 2

Behold the Man! by all condemned, Assaulted by a host of foes; His person and his claims contemned, A Man of sufferings and of woes.

Verse 3

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.

Verse 4

Behold the Man! though scorned below, He bears the greatest name above; The angels at his footstool bow, And all his royal claims approve.
