Lamb of God for sinners slain

Meter: Irregular Appears in 47 hymnals Scripture: John 14:27 Lyrics: 1 Lamb of God for sinners slain, To thee I humbly pray: Heal me of my grief and pain, O take my sins away. From this bondage, Lord, release; No longer let me be opprest; Jesus, master, seal my peace, And take me to thy breast! 2 Wilt thou cast a sinner out, Who humbly comes to thee! No, my God, I cannot doubt: Thy mercy is for me: Let me then obtain the grace, And be of paradise possest: Jesus, master, seal my peace, And take me to thy breast! 3 Worldly good I do not want: Be that to others giv'n; Only for thy love I pant; My all in earth or heav'n; This the crown I fain would seize, The good wherewith I would be blest; Jesus, master, seal my peace, And take me to thy breast! 4 This delight I fain would prove, And then resign my breath! Join the happy few whose love Was mightier than death! Let it not, my Lord, displease, That I would die to be thy guest! Jesus, master, seal my peace, And take me to thy breast! Topics: My peace I give unto you; Supplication for the divine mercy

Massie, 1800-87 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 37 hymnals Scripture: John 14:26-31 Lyrics: 1 Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice, With exultation springing, And, with united heart and voice And holy rapture singing, Proclaim the wonders God hath done, How His right arm the victory won; Right dearly it hath cost Him. 2 Fast bound in Satan's chains I lay; Death brooded darkly o'er me. Sin was my torment night and day; In sin my mother bore me. Yea, deep and deeper still I fell; Life had become a living hell, So firmly sin possessed me. 3 My good works so imperfect were, They had no pow'r to aid me; My will God's judgments could not bear, Yea, prone to evil made me; Grief drove me to despair, and I Had nothing left me but to die; To hell I fast was sinking. 4 But God beheld my wretched state Before the world's foundation, And, mindful of His mercies great, He planned my soul's salvation. A father's heart He turned to me, Sought my redemption fervently: He gave His dearest Treasure. 5 He spoke to His beloved Son: "'Tis time to have compassion. Then go, bright Jewel of My crown, And bring to man salvation. From sin and sorrow set him free; Slay bitter death for him, that he May live with Thee forever." 6 This Son obeyed Him cheerfully, And born of virgin mother, Came down upn the earth to me That He might be my Brother. His mighty power doth work unseen, He came in fashion poor and mean, And took the devil captive. 7 He sweetly said: "Hold fast by me, I am thy Rock and Castle. Thy Ransom I myself will be; For thee I strive and wrestle. For I am with thee, I am thine, And evermore thou shalt be mine; The foe shall not divide us. 8 "The foe shall shed My precious blood, Me of My life bereaving. All this I suffer for thy good; Be steadfast and believing. Life shall from death the vict'ry win, My innocence shall bear thy sin; So art thou blest forever. 9 "Now to My Father I depart, From earth to heav'n ascending, Thence heav'nly wisdom to impart, The Holy Spirit sending. My help to thee extending. He shall in trouble comfort thee, Teach thee to know and follow me And to the truth shall conduct thee. 10 "What I have done and taught, teach thou, My ways forsake thou never; So shall My kingdom flourish now And God be praised forever. Take heed lest men with base alloy The heav'nly treasure should destroy; This counsel I bequeath thee." Topics: Sing! Worship; Easter 5 Used With Tune: NUN FREUT EUCH
