Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD DEDE FGFG| Behold the Saviour of mankind | A |
| Nailed to the shameful tree | B |
| How vast the love that him inclined | A |
| To bleed and die for thee | B |
| - | |
| Hark how he groans while nature shakes | C |
| And earth's strong pillars bend | D |
| The temple's veil in sunder breaks | C |
| The solid marbles rend | D |

| 'Tis done the precious ransom's paid | D |
| Receive my soul he cries | E |
| See where he bows his sacred head | D |
| He bows his head and dies | E |
| - | |
| But soon he'll break death's envious chain | F |
| And in full glory shine | G |
| O Lamb of God was ever pain | F |
| Was ever love like thine | G |
