Words: [unclear]Music: [unclear]Tune: [unclear][unclear]
1I lay my sins on Jesus,
The spotless Lamb of God;
He bears them all, and frees us
From the accursed load.
RefrainFrom the accursed load.
Till not a stain remains.
He doth my soul redeem.
The Father's holy child.
And learn the angels' song.
2I bring my guilt to Jesus,
To wash my crimson stains
White in His blood most precious,
Till not a stain remains.
3I lay my wants on Jesus;
All fullness dwells in Him;
He heals all my diseases,
He doth my soul redeem.
4I long to be like Jesus,
Week, loving, lowly, mild;
I long to be with Jesus,
The Father's holy child.
5I long to be with Jesus,
Amid the heavenly throng,
To sing with them His praises,
To learn the angels' song.
