Lamb of God! our souls adore Thee,

   While upon Thy face we gaze;

There the Father's love and glory

   Shine in all their brightest rays;

Thine Almighty pow'r and wisdom

   All creation's works proclaim;

Heav'n and earth alike confess Thee

   As the ever great "I AM."

 2 

Lamb of God! Thy Father's bosom

   Ever was Thy dwelling place;

His delight, in Him rejoicing,

   One with Him in pow'r and grace;

O what wondrous love and mercy!

   Thou didst lay Thy glory by;

And for us didst come from heaven

   As the Lamb of God to die.

 3 

Lamb of God! When we behold Thee

   Lowly in the manger laid,

Wand'ring as a homeless stranger

   In the world Thy hands had made;

When we see Thee in the garden

   In Thine agony of blood,

At Thy grace we are confounded,

   Holy, spotless Lamb of God!

 4 

When we see Thee, as the victim,

   Bound to the accurs�d tree,

For our guilt and folly stricken,

   All our judgment borne by Thee,

Lord, we own, with hearts adoring,

   Thou hast loved us unto blood;

Glory, glory everlasting

   Be to Thee, Thou Lamb of God.

 5 

Lamb of God, Thou soon in glory

   Wilt to this sad earth return;

All Thy foes shall quake before Thee,

   All that now despise Thee mourn;

Then Thy saints all gathered to Thee,

   With Thee in Thy kingdom reign;

Thine the praise and Thine the glory,

   Lamb of God, for sinners slain!
