I lay my sins on Jesus

I lay my sins on Jesus 

1. I lay my sins on Jesus,

The spotless Lamb of God;

He bears them all, and frees us

From the accursed load.

I bring my guilt to Jesus

To wash my crimson stains

White in His blood most precious,

Till not a spot remains.

2. I lay my wants on Jesus;

All fulnes dwells in Him:

He heals all my diseases;

He doth my soul redeem.

I lay my griefs on Jesus,

My burdens and my cares;

He from them all releases;

He all my sorrows shares.

3. I rest my soul on Jesus,

This weary soul of mine;

His right hand me embraces;

I on His breast recline.

I love the name of Jesus,

Emmanuel, Christ the Lord;

Like fragrance on the breezes

His name abroad is pour'd.

4. I long to be like Jesus,

Meek, loving, lowly, mild:

I long to be like Jesus,

The Father's Holy Child.

I long to be with Jesus,

Amid the heavenly throng,

To sing with saints His praises,

And learn the angels' song
