The spotless Lamb of God;

From the accursed load,
From the accursed load.

To wash my crimson stains
White in His blood most precious,
Till not a stain remains,
Till not a stain remains.

All fullness dwells in Him;
He healeth my diseases,
He doth my soul redeem,
He doth my soul redeem.

Amid the heav'nly throng,
To sing with them His praises,
And learn the angels' song,
And learn the angels' song.

To sing with them His praises,
And learn the angels' song,
And learn the angels' song.
