i lay my sins on jesus

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 spot remains.




I lay my wants on Jesus,

all fullness dwells in Him:

He heals all 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 sorrows shares.




I rest my soul on Jesus,

this weary soul of mine;

His right hand me embraces,

I on His breast recline.

I love the name of Jesus,

Immanuel, Christ, the Lord:

like fragrance on the breezes,

His name abroad is poured.




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,

to learn the angels‟ song.
