O Jesus, Lamb of God, Thou Art

O Je­sus

Lamb of God

Thou art

The Life and Com­fort of my heart.

A sin­ner poor I come to Thee

And bring my ma­ny sins with me.

O God

my sin in­deed is great;

I groan be­neath the dread­ful weight;

Be mer­ci­ful to me

I pray;

Take guilt and pun­ish­ment away.

Saint John the Bap­tist points to Thee

And bids me cast my sin on Thee;

For Thou hast left Thy throne on high

To suf­fer for the world and die.

Help me to mend my ways

O Lord

And glad­ly to ob­ey Thy Word.

While here I live

ab­ide with me;

And when I die

take me to Thee.
