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 His blood most precious, Till not a spot remains.
2. 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 sorrow shares.
3. 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 breezes, His name abroad is poured.
4. 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, To learn the angels' song.
