81. Lamb of God, Pure and Holy

1. Lamb of God, pure and holy,
Who on the cross didst suffer,
Ever patient and lowly,
Thyself to scorn didst offer.
Our sins thou borest for us,
That death might not reign o'er us:
Have mercy on us, O Jesus!
O Jesus!

2. Lamb of God, pure and holy,
Who on the cross didst suffer,
Ever patient and lowly,
Thyself to scorn didst offer.
Our sins thou borest for us,
That death might not reign o'er us:
Have mercy on us, O Jesus!
O Jesus!

3. Lamb of God, pure and holy,
Who on the cross didst suffer,
Ever patient and lowly,
Thyself to scorn didst offer.
Our sins thou borest for us,
That death might not reign o'er us:
Thy peace be with us, O Jesus!
O Jesus!
