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 accursed load

I bring my guilt to Jesus

To wash my crimson stains

White in the blood most precious

Till not a stain remains.

I lay my wants on Jesus

All fullness dwells in Him

He healeth 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 sorrow shares.

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

And learn the angel’s song.
