I lay my sins on Jesus, I rest my soul on Jesus,
The spotless Lamb of God; This weary soul of mine; He bears them all, and frees us His right hand me embraces, From the accursèd load; I on His breast recline. I bring my guilt to Jesus, I love the name of Jesus, To wash my crimson stains Immanuel, Christ, the Lord; White in His blood most precious, Like fragrance on the breezes Till not a stain remains. His name abroad is poured.
I lay my wants on Jesus; I long to be like Jesus,
All fullness dwells in Him; Meek, loving, lowly, mild; He heals all my diseases, I long to be like Jesus, He doth my soul redeem: The Father’s holy child: I lay my griefs on Jesus, I long to be with Jesus, My burdens and my cares; Amid the heavenly throng, He from them all releases, To sing with saints His praises, He all my sorrows shares. To learn the angels’ son.
