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.

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.
