I Lay My Sins on Jesus

Isa.53.5

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.

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, strong, 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.
