Text: | I Lay My Sins on Jesus |
Author: | H. Bonar. D. D. |
Tune: | ANGELUS |
1 I lay my sins on Jesus,
The spotless lamb of God;
He bears them all and frees us
From the accursed load.
I bring my guilt to Jesus,
To wash my crimson stains
White in his blood most precious,
Till not a spot remains.
2 I lay my wants on Jesus;
All fulness dwells in him;
He healeth my diseases;
He doth my soul redeem.
I lay my griefs on Jesus,
My burdens and my cares;
He from them all releases,
He all my sorrows shares.
3 I rest my soul on Jesus,
This weary soul of mine;
His right hand me embraces,
I on his breast recline.
I love the name of Jesus,
Immanuel, Christ, the Lord;
Like fragrance on the breezes,
His name abroad is poured.
4 I long to be like Jesus,
Meek, loving, lowly, mild;
I long to be like Jesus,
The Father's holy child
I long to be with Jesus
Amid the heavenly throng,
To sing with saints his praises,
And learn the angels' song.
