Once On a Cross, Behold Him Now

10/17/2020

This new Hymn takes us beyond the Sufferings of our Lord on the Cross, and up into the GLORIES He now shares with the Father! This is so Encouraging!
As this Hymn contrasts His Heavenly GLORIES  to His Earthly SUFFERINGS, we remember that we too are being tried in these temporary fires, to Glorify God by being made more like Himself!  And Someday— sooner than we may think— we will be experiencing the Glories of Heaven, with our Lord!
Note: I am so pleased with the way the Ensemble performed this song! Grab a pair of Headphones, and I think you'll agree that they expressed the truths of the hymn so well!

To Purchase the 21-track CD go to my store here at stanbrubaker.com, or search for "Stanley K Brubaker" on iTunes, Google Play, Pandora, Amazon Music, Spotify, YouTube, etc.

You can also LIKE my Heart Songs Facebook page HERE to see more new Songs and Hymns as I post them, and SHARE it with anyone who would be Blest by it.

My heartfelt thanks, until we meet face-to-face. —Stan Brubaker

COMPLETE LYRICS

Once On a Cross, Behold Him Now
1.Once on a cross, behold Him now, in Heav’n exalted high!
The Glory-ones before Him bow, in adoration cry.
Behold the Lamb of God, upon a Throne,
‘Mid glowing seraphim so bright;
With shining wings, each shields his face
Before the blazing Light, Before His holy Light.

2.You tasted Death for ev’ry man, in writhing agony,
But now You reign— alive again!— in Sov’reign majesty.
No more the wretched shame, the dark’ning death,
The drinking deeply of our stain;
Applauded now by angel breath,
O ris’n Redeemer— reign!
Come, weep for joy, ye sons of Earth,
Who groan for your release;
As did your Lord, redeem your birth--
Exalt the Prince of Peace, Exalt the Lord of Peace.

3.Defiled by our brutish race, You spilled Your holy blood,
But now we celebrate Your Grace, O good, Incarnate God;
Behold the Sorrows-Man, in tears no more,
Enthroned above the gems of fire;
The crystal pavement ‘neath their feet
Reflects the saints' Desire--
“Worthy the Lamb Who once was slain,”
Whose flesh for man was riv’n,
“Blessing and Honor, Glory, Power”
Are ever His in Heav’n, Are His in highest Heav’n.

    Purpose of Blog

    Tips... Insights... Song-writing How-to... Critiques... Time-saving Methods... to help make YOU a joyful bard for the Lord.

    My best-known songs are probably "Lo, I Come"– composed before I was married– and "Teach Me, O Lord, to Number My Days" which you may have seen in various hymnals. I have many others trying to sneak out of their file folders, to join the march of music around the world.

    ​Some will be introduced here first as just lyrics, to study the crafting of their messages, others will have music mp3 files or videos also.
