The Lamb of God who Beareth Away Sin

Verse 1

When all mankind corrupt, Did from their Maker stray, Pursuing each the fatal road, That to destruction lay.

Verse 2

With pity most divine, From his bright throne above; Did Jesus graciously descend, Borne on the wings of love.

Verse 3

Involv'd in guilt he found The whole apostate race; Where sin and guilt did most abound, Still more abounds his grace.

Verse 4

While heirs of wrath we stood, To death and hell a prey; To ransom sinners with his blood, He gave his life away.
