Jesus, Lamb of God, for me Thou, the Lord of life, didst die; Whither—whither, but to thee, Can a trembling sinner fly? Death’s dark waters o’er me roll, Save, O save, my sinking soul!
2 Never bowed a martyred head, Weighed with equal sorrow down; Never blood so rich was shed, Never king wore such a crown! To thy cross and sacrifice, Faith now lifts her tearful eyes.
3 All my soul, by love subdued, Melts in deep contrition there; By thy mighty grace renewed, New-born hope forbids despair; Lord, thou canst my guilt forgive, Thou hast bid me look and live.
4 While with broken heart I kneel, Sinks the inward storm to rest; Life—immortal life—I feel Kindled in my throbbing breast; Thine—for ever thine—I am, Glory to the bleeding Lamb!

Jesus, to thy wounds I fly; Purge my sins of deepest dye; Lamb of God, for sinners slain, Wash away my crimson stain.
2 Purge me in that sacred flood, In that fountain of thy blood; Then thy Father’s eye shall see Not a spot of guilt in me.

Weary souls that wander wide From the central point of bliss, Turn to Jesus crucified; Fly to those dear wounds of his; Sink into the purple flood, Rise into the life of God.
2 Find in Christ the way of peace Peace unspeakable, unknown; By his pain he gives you ease, Life, by his expiring groan; Rise, exalted by his fall; Find in Christ your all in all.
3 O believe the record true, God to you his Son hath given! You may now be happy too; Find on earth the life of heaven; Live the life of heaven above, All the life of glorious love.

Humble souls, who seek salvation Through the Lamb’s redeeming blood, Hear the voice of revelation; Tread the path that Jesus trod.
2 Hear the blest Redeemer call you; Listen to his heavenly voice; Dread no ills that can befall you, While you make his way your choice.
3 Plainly here his footsteps tracing, Follow him without delay, Gladly his command embracing; Lo! your Captain leads the way.

Gracious Saviour, we adore thee; Purchased by thy precious blood We present ourselves before thee, Now to walk the narrow road: Saviour guide us— Guide us to our heavenly home.
2 Thou didst mark our path of duty; Thou wast laid beneath the wave; Thou didst rise in glorious beauty, From the semblance of the grave; May we follow In the same delightful way.
