O blessed Jesus, Lamb of God

Verse 1

O blessed Jesus, Lamb of God, Who hast redeemed us with thy blood, From sin and death and shame; With joy and praise thy people see The crown of glory worn by thee, And worthy thee proclaim.

Verse 2

Head of the church: thou sittest there, Thy bride shall all thy glory share,-- Thy fullness, Lord, is ours: Our life thou art--thy grace sustains, Thy strength in us the victory gains O'er sin and Satan's powers.

Verse 3

Soon shall the day of glory come, Thy bride shall reach the Father's home, And all thy beauty see; And, oh, what joy to see thee shine, To hear thee own us, Lord, as thine, And ever dwell with thee!
