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

Son of God, Thy Father's bosom
Ever was Thy dwelling-place;
His delight, in Him rejoicing,
One with Him in power and grace:

Thou didst lay Thy glory by,
And for us didst come from heaven,
As the Lamb of God to die.


When we see Thee, as the Victim,
Nailed to the accursed tree,
For our guilt and folly stricken,
All our judgment borne by Thee,
Lord, we own with hearts adoring,
Thou hast washed us in Thy blood:
Glory, glory everlasting,
Be to Thee, Thou Lamb of God!
