Author: Joseph Hart Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #254 (1908) Lyrics: 1 Lamb of God, we fall before Thee,
Humbly trusting in Thy cross;
That alone be all our glory,
All things else are only dross.
2 Thee we own a perfect Savior,
Only source of all that’s good.
Ev'ry grace and ev'ry favor
Comes to us through Jesus’ blood.
3 Jesus gives us true repentance,
By His Spirit sent from heav’n;
Whispers this transporting sentence:
"Son thy sins are all forgiven."
4 Faith He grants us to believe it,
Grateful hearts His love to prize;
Want we wisdom? He must give it;
Hearing ears, and seeing eyes.
5 Jesus gives us pure affections,
Wills to do what He requires:
Makes us follow His directions,
And what He commands, inspires.
6 All our prayers, and all our praises,
Rightly offered in His name,—
He that dictates them is Jesus;
He that answers is the same. Topics: The Catechism Justification; Third Sunday after Epiphany; Fifth Sunday in Lent; Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: WILMOT
