O Jesus, Lamb of God, Thou Art

Bartolomäus Helder • August Crull • English

Primary Scripture: John 1:29

Verse 1

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.

Verse 2

O God, my sin indeed is great; I groan beneath the dreadful weight. Be merciful to me, I pray; Take guilt and punishment away.

Verse 3

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.

Verse 4

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.
