53. 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.

2 I bring my guilt to Jesus,
To watch the crimson stains
White in his blood most precious,
Till not a spot remains.

3 I lay my wants on Jesus,
All fullness dwells in him;
He healeth my diseases.
He doth my soul redeem.

4 I lay my griefs on Jesus,
My burdens and my cares;
He from them all releases.
He all my sorrows shares.

5 I long to be like Jesus,
Meek, loving, lowly, mild;
I long to be like Jesus.
The Father's holy child.

6 I long to be with Jesus,
Amid the heavenly throng,
To sing with them his praises,
And learn the angels' song.
