215. Lamb of God we fall before Thee

1 LAMB of God we fall before Thee,
Humbly trusting in Thy cross;
That alone be all our glory,
All things else are only dross.

2 Thee we own a perfect Saviour,
Only Source of all that's good
Every grace and every favor
Come to us through Jesus' blood.

3 Jesus gives us true repentance,
By His Spirit sent from heaven;
Whispers this transporting sentence,
"Son, thy sins are all forgiven."

4 Faith He grants us to believe it,
Grateful hearts His love to prize:
Want we wisdom?--He must give it;
Hearing ears, and seeing eyes.

5 Jesus gives us pure affections,
Wills to do what He requires;
Makes us follow His directions,
And what He commands, inspires.

6 All our prayers and all our praises,
Rightly offered in His name,
He that dictates them is Jesus;
He that answers is the same.
