Holy Lamb, Who Thee Receive

Holy Lamb

who Thee re­ceive

Who in Thee be­gin to live

Day and night they cry to Thee

As Thou art

so let us be!

Jesu

see my pant­ing breast!

See I pant in Thee to rest!

Gladly would I now be clean

Cleanse me now from ev­ery sin.

Fix

O fix my wa­ver­ing mind!

To Thy cross my spir­it bind;

Earthly pas­sions far re­move

Swallow up my soul in love.

Dust and ash­es though we be

Full of sin and mi­se­ry

Thine we are

Thou Son of God!

Take the pur­chase of Thy blood!

Who in heart on Thee be­lieves

He the atone­ment now re­ceives

He with joy be­holds Thy face

Triumphs in Thy par­don­ing grace.

See

ye sin­ners

see the flame

Rising from the slaugh­tered Lamb

Marks the new

the liv­ing way

Leading to eter­nal day!

Jesus

when this light we see

All our soul’s athirst for Thee;

When Thy quick­en­ing pow­er we prove

All our heart dis­solves in love.

Boundless wis­dom

pow­er divine

Love un­speak­able are Thine:

Praise by all to Thee be giv’n

Sons of earth

and hosts of Heav’n!
