LyicsJe-sus, Lamb of God, for me
Thou, the Lord of life, didst die;
Whith-er-whith-er, but to thee,
Can a trem-bling sin-ner fly?
Death's dark wa-ters o'er me roll;
Save, oh, save my sink-ing soul.
Never bowed a martyred head,
Weighed with equal sorrow down;
Never blood so rich was shed,
Never king wore such a crown!
To they cross and sacrifice,
Faith now lifts her tearful eyes.
All my soul, by love subdued,
Melts in deep contrition there;
By thy mighty grace renewed,
New-born hope forbids despair;
Lord, thou canst my guilt forgive,
Thou has bid me look and live.
While with broken heart I kneel,
Sinks the inward storm to rest;
Life-immortal life-I feel
Kindled in my throbbing breast;
Thine-forever thine-I am,
Glory to the bleeding Lamb!
