O Je­sus, Lamb of God, Thou art
The Life and Com­fort of my heart.
A sin­ner poor I come to Thee
And bring my ma­ny sins with me.

O God, my sin in­deed is great;
I groan be­neath the dread­ful weight;
Be mer­ci­ful to me, I pray;
Take guilt and pun­ish­ment away.

Saint John the Bap­tist points to Thee
And bids me cast my sin on Thee;
For Thou hast left Thy throne on high
To suf­fer for the world and die.

Help me to mend my ways, O Lord,
And glad­ly to obey Thy Word.
While here I live, abide with me;
And when I die, take me to Thee.
