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,
’til not a spot remains.
2. I lay my wants on Jesus;
all fullness 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,
Immanuel, Christ, the Lord;
like fragrance on the breezes
his name abroad is poured.
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 heav’nly throng,
to sing with saints his praises,
to learn the angels’ song.
