Away

Verse 1

Although oppressed by guilt and shame, The cleansing pow’r I claim, I claim, By faith the Lamb of God survey— He “beareth” all my sins “away!”

Chorus

Away! Away!” oh, happy thought! Oh word with blessed comfort fraught! “Away” within the briny sea! Like east from west, “away” from me!

Verse 2

“Away,” with all their crimson stains, “Away,” with all their binding chains. The stream of life that flows for me, Bears them “away,” and I am free!

Verse 3

O Lamb of God I look to Thee, Each day and hour, to keep me free; To take the throne and reign within, And keep Thy kingdom free from sin.
