1. O LAMB of God, most holy!
Who on the cross didst languish,
E'er patient, meek, and lowly,
Though mocked amid Thine anguish;
Our sins Thou bearest for us,
Else would despair reign o'er us;
Have mercy on us, O Jesus!

2. O Lamb of God, most holy!
Who on the cross didst languish,
E'er patient, meek, and lowly,
Though mocked amid Thine anguish;
Our sins Thou bearest for us,
Else would despair reign o'er us;
Have mercy on us, O Jesus!

3. O Lamb of God, most holy!
Who on the cross didst languish,

Though mocked amid Thine anguish;
Our sins Thou bearest for us,
Else would despair reign o'er us;
Thy peace be with us, O Jesus!
