I have been at the altar and witnessed the Lamb
Verse 1
I have been at the altar and witnessed the Lamb Burnt wholly to ashes for me; And watched its sweet savour ascending on high, Accepted, O Father, by Thee.
Verse 2
And lo, while I gazed at the glorious sight, A voice from above reached mine ears: By this thine iniquity's taken away, And no trace of it on thee appears.
Verse 3
An end of thy sin has been made for thee here By Him who its penalty bore; With blood it is blotted eternally out, And I will not remember it more.
Verse 4
O Lord, I believe it with wonder and joy; Confirm, Thou, this precious belief; While daily I learn that I am in myself Of sinners the vilest and chief.
