I Lay My Sins on Jesus

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 560 hymnals Scripture: John 1:29 Lyrics: 1 I lay my sins on Jesus, the spotless Lamb of God; he bears them all and frees us from the accursèd load. I bring my guilt to Jesus, to wash my crimson stains clean in his blood most precious, till not a spot remains. 2 I lay my needs on Jesus; all fullness dwells in him; he heals all my diseases; my soul he does redeem. I lay my griefs on Jesus, my burdens and my cares; he from them all releases; he all my sorrows shares. 3 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 heavenly throng, to sing with saints his praises, to learn the angels’ song.

Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil F. Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 411 hymnals Scripture: John 1:14 Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city stood a lowly cattle shed, where a mother laid her baby in a manger for his bed: Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven who is God and Lord of all, and his shelter was a stable, and his cradle was a stall: with the poor and meek and lowly lived on earth our Savior holy. 3 For he is our childhood's pattern, day by day like us he grew, he was little, weak, and helpless, tears and smiles like us he knew: and he feels for all our sadness, and he shares in all our gladness. 4 And our eyes at last shall see him, through his own redeeming love; for that child, so dear and gentle, is our Lord in heaven above, and he leads his children on to the place where he has gone.

Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, while shepherds watch are keeping? This, this is Christ the King, whom shepherds guard and angels sing; haste, haste to bring him laud, the babe, the son of Mary! 2 Why lies he in such mean estate where ox and ass are feeding? Good Christian, fear: for sinners here the silent Word is pleading. Nails, spear shall pierce him through, the cross be borne for me, for you; hail, hail the Word made flesh, the babe, the son of Mary! 3 So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh, come peasant, king, to own him; the King of kings salvation brings, let loving hearts enthrone him. Raise, raise the song on high, the Virgin sings her lullaby; joy, joy for Christ is born, the babe, the son of Mary! Used With Tune: GREENSLEEVES
