HYMN XXIV.

[O Lamb of God, to Thee]

[_]

To—“Thanks be to God alone.”

O Lamb of God, to Thee
In deep distress I flee,

242

Thou didst purge my guilty stain,
Didst for all atonement make;
Take away my sins and pain,
Save me for Thy mercy's sake.
Thy mercy is my prop,
And bears my weakness up:
Full of evil as I am,
Fuller Thou of pardoning grace,
Jesus is Thy healing name,
Saviour of the sinful race.
For Thine own sake I pray,
Take all my sins away:
Other refuge have I none,
None do I desire beside;
Thou hast died for all to' atone,
Thou for me, for me hast died.
Hast died that I might live,
Might all Thy life receive;
Hasten, Lord, my heart prepare,
Bring Thy death and suffering in,
Tear away my idols, tear,
Save me, save me from my sin.
O bid it all depart,
This unbelief of heart,
All my mountain sins remove;
Wrath, concupiscence, and pride,
Cast them out by perfect love,
Save me, who for me hast died.
This, this is all my plea,
Thy blood was shed for me,

243

Shed, to wash my conscience clean,
Shed, to purify my heart,
Shed, to purge me from all sin,
Shed, to make me as Thou art.
O that the cleansing tide
Were now, even now applied;
Plunge me in the crimson flood,
Drown my sins in the Red Sea,
Bring me now, even now to God,
Swallow up my soul in Thee!
