O Lamb of God!

- O Lamb of God! Thou wonderful sin-bearer,
- hard after Thee my soul doth follow on;
- as pants the hart for streams in desert dreary,
- so pants my soul for Thee, O Thou life-giving One.
- At Thy feet I fall, yield Thee up my all,
- to suffer, live, or die for my Lord crucified.
- I mourn, I mourn the sin that drove Thee from me,
- and blackest darkness brought into my soul;
- now I renounce the accursed thing that hindered,
- and come once more to Thee, to be made fully whole.
- Descend the heavens, Thou whom my soul adoreth!
- Exchange Thy throne for my poor longing heart;
- for Thee, for Thee I watch as for the morning;
- no rest or peace is mine from my Saviour apart.
- Come, Holy Ghost, Thy mighty aid bestowing,
- destroy the works of sin, the self, the pride;
- burn, burn in me, my idols overthrowing,
- prepare my heart for Him, for my Lord crucified!
