Come Behold The Wondrous Mystery

"Come Behold The Wondrous Mystery" is a simple and wonderful modern hymn which beautifully summarizes the gospel of Jesus Christ.  It was written by Matt Papa, Matt Boswell, and Michael Bleecker.  Our plea to the nations is for them to come behold the wondrous mystery of the good news of Jesus Christ, to come to Him with true belief and true repentance.  Oh that the gospel message would be proclaimed throughout the world to all peoples! 




Come Behold The Wondrous Mystery - Matt Papa

VERSE 1
Come behold the wondrous mystery
In the dawning of the King
He the theme of heaven’s praises
Robed in frail humanity
In our longing, in our darkness
Now the light of life has come
Look to Christ, who condescended
Took on flesh to ransom us
VERSE 2
Come behold the wondrous mystery
He the perfect Son of Man
In His living, in His suffering
Never trace nor stain of sin
See the true and better Adam
Come to save the hell-bound man
Christ the great and sure fulfillment
Of the law; in Him we stand
VERSE 3
Come behold the wondrous mystery
Christ the Lord upon the tree
In the stead of ruined sinners
Hangs the Lamb in victory
See the price of our redemption
See the Father’s plan unfold
Bringing many sons to glory
Grace unmeasured, love untold
VERSE 4
Come behold the wondrous mystery
Slain by death the God of life
But no grave could e’er restrain Him
Praise the Lord; He is alive!
What a foretaste of deliverance
How unwavering our hope
Christ in power resurrected
As we will be when he comes
What a foretaste of deliverance
How unwavering our hope
Christ in power resurrected
As we will be when he comes
