I bring my guilt to Jesus To wash my crimson stains Clean in His blood most precious Till not a spot remains. 2 I lay my wants on Jesus; All fulness dwells in Him; He heals all my diseases; My soul He does 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. Topics: Confession and Absolution Used With Tune: MUNICH

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 479 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 1:7 Lyrics: 1 Plunged in a gulf of dark despair, We wretched sinners lay, Without one cheerful beam of hope Or spark of glimmering day. 2 With pitying eyes the Prince of Grace Behold our helpless grief; He saw, and--oh, amazing love!-- He ran to our relief. 3 Down from the shining seats above, With joyful haste he fled, Entered the grave in mortal flesh, And dwelt among the dead. 4 Oh, for this love, let rocks and hills Their lasting silence break, And all harmonious human tongues The Saviour's praises speak. 5 Angels, assist our mighty joys, Strike all your harps of gold; But when you raise your highest notes, His love can ne'er be told.
