The Unveiled Christ

236 The Unveiled Christ

1 Once our blessed Christ of beauty
   Was veiled off from human view;
   But thro' suff'ring, death and sorrow
   He has rent the veil in two.

Chorus:
   O behold the Man of Sorrows,
   O behold Him in plain view;
   Lo! He is the mighty conqu'ror,
   Since He rent the veil in two.
   Lo! He is the mighty conqu'ror,
   Since He rent the veil in two.

2 Now He is with God the Father,
   Interceding there for you;
   For He is the mighty conqu'ror,
   Since He rent the veil in two. (Chorus)

3 Holy angels bow before Him,
   Men of earth give praises due;
   For He is the well-beloved
   Since He rent the veil in two. (Chorus)

<idle musing>
I don't recall ever hearing or singing this hymn, which isn't surprising, given that it only occurs in 25 hymnals. Hymnary.org adds a fourth verse:

4 Thro'out time and endless ages,
   Heights and depths of love so true;
   He alone can be the giver
   Since He rent the veil in two. (Chorus)
