Lamb Of God For Sinners Slain
Charles Wesley (1742) • English
Primary Scripture: John 1:29
Verse 1
Lamb of God for sinners slain, To Thee I humbly pray: Heal me of my grief and pain, Oh, take my sins away. From this bondage, Lord, release; No longer let me be opprest; Jesus, Master, seal my peace, And take me to Thy breast!
Verse 2
Wilt Thou cast a sinner out Who humbly comes to Thee? No, my God, I cannot doubt: Thy mercy is for me: Let me then obtain the grace, And be of paradise possest: Jesus, Master, seal my peace, And take me to Thy breast!
Verse 3
Worldly good I do not want, Be that to others given; Only for Thy love I pant, My all in earth or heaven; This the crown I fain would seize, The good wherewith I would be blest; Jesus, Master, seal my peace, And take me to Thy breast!
Verse 4
This delight I fain would prove, And then resign my breath: Join the happy few whose love Was mightier than death. Let it not my Lord displease, That I would die to be His guest: Jesus, Master, seal my peace, And take me to Thy breast!
