Take All My Sins Away

Representative Text

1 O spotless Lamb, I come to thee,
From thee no longer can I stay;
Break every chain, now set me free,
Take all my sins away.

Refrain:
Take all my sins away,
Take all my sins away;
O spotless Lamb, I come to thee,
Take all my sins away.

2 My hungry soul cries out for thee,
Come and for ever seal my breast;
To thy dear arms at last I flee,
There only can I rest.

3 Weary I am of inbred sin,
O wilt thou not my soul release?
Enter and speak me pure within,
Give me thy perfect peace.

4 I plunge beneath thy precious blood,
My hand in faith takes hold of thee;
Thy promises just now I claim,
Thou art enough for me.
