I Lay My Sins on Jesus

I lay my sins on Jesus,The spotless Lamb of God;He bears them all and frees usFrom the accursed load.I bring my guilt to Jesus,To wash my crimson stainsWhite in His blood most preciousTill not a spot remains.

I lay my wants on Jesus;All fulness 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 breezesHis 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 JesusAmid the heavenly throng,To sing with saints His praises,To learn the angels’ song.
