178. The Unveiled Christ

Ab                                Eb                        Ab
Once our blessed Christ of beauty Was veiled off from human view;

Ab                                      Bbm7            Eb7     Ab
But through suffering, death and sorrow He has rent the veil in two.

Db                  Ab       Db   Bb7               Eb7
O behold the Man of Sorrows, O be-hold Him in plain view;

Ab     Bb7    Ab     Db         Ab       Eb               Ab
Lo! He is the mighty Conqueror, Since He rent the veil in two.

Db                   Ab         Eb       Eb7              Ab
Lo! He is the mighty Conqueror, Since He rent the veil in two.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
Once our blessed Christ of beauty
Was veiled off from human views;
But through suffering, death, and sorrow
He has rent the veil in two.

[Refrain]
O behold the Man of Sorrows!
O behold Him in plain view!
Lo! He is the mighty Conqueror
Since her rent the veil in two;
Lo! He is the mighty Conqueror
Since her rent the veil in two.

[Verse 2]
Yes, He is with God, the Father,
Interceding there for you;
For He is the Well beloved
Since He rent the veil in two.

[Verse 3]
Holy angels bow before Him,
Men of earth give praises due;
For He is the mighty Conqueror
Since He rent the veil in two.
