Lyrics

Lamb of God, whose bleed­ing love
We now re­call to mind,
Send the an­swer from above,
And let us mer­cy find.
Think on us who think on Thee,
Every bur­dened soul release;
O re­mem­ber Cal­va­ry,
And bid us go in peace.

By Thine ago­niz­ing pain,
And bloody sweat, we pray,
By Thy dy­ing love to man,
Take all our sins away;
Burst our bonds, and set us free,
From ini­qui­ty re­lease;
O re­mem­ber Cal­va­ry,
And bid us go in peace.

Let Thy blood by faith ap­plied,
The sin­ner’s par­don seal;
Speak us free­ly jus­ti­fied,
And all our sick­ness heal;
By Thy pas­sion on the tree,
Let our griefs and sor­rows cease,
O re­mem­ber Cal­va­ry,
And bid us go in peace.
