Help teach this song with a printable Behold the Great Redeemer Die flip chart! I’ve created 3 different versions below to help you introduce this song to your Primary children.
One of the song choices from the New Testament Primary Songs list for June is this hymn. It’s one your Primary children probably haven’t spent much time with, but it can be a powerful song to teach about sacrifice, the Atonement, and death. I would recommend to teach just one verse, since the hymn is pretty wordy.
You can see all of the songs included across all 4-Year Come Follow Me Song Rotation in this helpful post including 2 styles of printable charts! One lists all the songs by year to easily see which of the current year program songs are also recommended in other years and the other style is alphabetical to view all of the songs and which year they’re included.
Behold the Great Redeemer Die Flip Chart
This is just one of the many, many flip charts I’ve shared! Head over to see this master list of Singing Time Flip Charts to find the ones you might need for teaching songs this year.
You’ll also love this helpful post with all the details on how I use flip charts. I don’t use them every week, but I like to have flip charts ready and available for when we have guests, the first week or two of teaching, or if there’s an activity that’s well suited towards using them!
My preference is to use as few of print pages as possible because I don’t like having to flip the pages constantly and try to lead and run other activities at the same time. I also love using colorful keywords to bring added interest and meaning to the flip charts!
Behold the Great Redeemer Die Lyrics
This song can be found in the LDS green hymn book Page #191.
The first 4 verses are the standard verses with two additional verses also available.

Verse 1:
Behold the great Redeemer die,
A broken law to satisfy.
He dies a sacrifice for sin,
He dies a sacrifice for sin,
That man may live and glory win.
Verse 2:
While guilty men his pains deride,
They pierce his hands and feet and side;
And with insulting scoffs and scorns,
And with insulting scoffs and scorns,
They crown his head with plaited thorns.
Verse 3:
Although in agony he hung,
No murm’ring word escaped his tongue.
His high commission to fulfill,
His high commission to fulfill,
He magnified his Father’s will.
Verse 4:
“Father, from me remove this cup.
Yet, if thou wilt, I’ll drink it up.
I’ve done the work thou gavest me,
I’ve done the work thou gavest me;
Receive my spirit unto thee.”
Verse 5:
He died, and at the awful sight
The sun in shame withdrew its light!
Earth trembled, and all nature sighed,
Earth trembled, and all nature sighed
In dread response, “A God has died!”
Verse 6:
He lives—he lives. We humbly now
Around these sacred symbols bow
And seek, as Saints of latter days,
And seek, as Saints of latter days,
To do his will and live his praise.
“Behold the Great Redeemer Die,” words by Eliza R. Snow and music by George Careless. Used under public domain.
