279. Lamb of God for sinners slain

1 Lamb of God for sinners slain,
To thee I humbly pray:
Heal me of my grief and pain,
O take my sins away.
From this bondage, Lord, release;
No longer let me be opprest;
Jesus, master, seal my peace,
And take me to thy breast!

2 Wilt thou cast a sinner out,
Who humbly comes to thee!
No, my God, I cannot doubt:
Thy mercy is for me:
Let me then obtain the grace,
And be of paradise possest:
Jesus, master, seal my peace,
And take me to thy breast!

3 Worldly good I do not want:
Be that to others giv'n;
Only for thy love I pant;
My all in earth or heav'n;
This the crown I fain would seize,
The good wherewith I would be blest;
Jesus, master, seal my peace,
And take me to thy breast!

4 This delight I fain would prove,
And then resign my breath!
Join the happy few whose love
Was mightier than death!
Let it not, my Lord, displease,
That I would die to be thy guest!
Jesus, master, seal my peace,
And take me to thy breast!
