- 1I lay my sins on Jesus, the spotless Lamb of God;He bears them all, and frees us from the accursed load.I bring my guilt to Jesus, to wash my crimson stainsClean in His blood most precious, till not a spot remains.
- 2I lay my needs on Jesus; all fullness dwells in Him;He heals all my diseases; my soul He does redeem.I lay my griefs on Jesus, my burdens and my cares;He from them all releases;He all my sorrows shares.
- 3I long to be like Jesus– meek, loving, lowly, mild;I long to be like Jesus– the Father’s holy Child.I long to be with Jesus, amid the heav’nly throng,To sing with saints His praises, to learn the angels’ song.
