Verse 1
THOU Lamb of God, thou Prince of peace, For thee my thirsty soul doth pine, My longing heart implores thy grace; O make me in thy likeness shine!
Verse 2
With fraudless, even, humble mind, Thy will in all things may I see; In love be every wish resigned, And hallowed my whole heart to thee.
Verse 3
When pain o'er my weak flesh prevails, With lamb-like patience arm my breast; When grief my wounded soul assails, In lowly meekness may I rest.
Verse 4
Close by thy side still may I keep, Howe'er life's various current flow, With steadfast eye mark every step, And follow thee where'er thou go.
Verse 5
Thou, Lord, the dreadful fight hast won, Alone thou hast the winepress trod; In me thy strengthening grace be shown, O may I conquer through thy blood!
Verse 6
So when on Zion thou shalt stand, And all heaven's host adore their King, Shall I be found at thy right hand, And free from pain thy glories sing.
