278 ~ I Lay My Sins on Jesus

1

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 stain remains.

2

I lay my wants on Jesus; All fullness dwells in Him; He healeth 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 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, And learn the angels' song.
