I Lay My Sins on Jesus

I lay my sins on Je­sus

The spot­less Lamb of God;

He bears them all

and frees us

From the ac­curs­èd load;

I bring my guilt to Je­sus

To wash my crim­son stains

White in His blood most pre­cious

Till not a stain re­mains.

I lay my wants on Je­sus;

All full­ness dwells in Him;

He heals all my dis­eas­es

He doth my soul re­deem:

I lay my griefs on Je­sus

My bur­dens and my cares;

He from them all re­leas­es

He all my sor­rows shares.

I rest my soul on Je­sus

This wea­ry soul of mine;

His right hand me em­brac­es

I on His breast re­cline.

I love the name of Je­sus

Immanuel

Christ

the Lord;

Like frag­rance on the breez­es

His name abroad is poured.

I 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 heav­en­ly throng

To sing with saints His prais­es

To learn the an­gels’ song.
