LyicsJESUS, Lamb of God, for me
Thou, the Lord of life, didst die;
Whither--whither, but to Thee,
Can a trembling sinner fly?
||:Death's dark waters o'er me roll;
Save, O save my sinking soul!:||
All my soul, by love subdued,
Melts in deep contrition there;
By Thy mighty grace renew'd,
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!:||
