Lamb of God! our souls adore Thee

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.”

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.

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!

When we see Thee

as the victim

Bound to the accursed 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.

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!
