I Lay my Sins on Jesus

Author: Horatius Bonar Appears in 562 hymnals Topics: Trust and Confidence Lyrics: 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, Till 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 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. Used With Tune: CRUCIFIX

Jesus, I my cross have taken

Author: Rev. Henry F. Lyte Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,325 hymnals Topics: Trust and Confidence Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave, and follow Thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou from hence my All shalt be: Perish every fond ambition, All I've sought, or hoped, or known; Yet how rich is my condition: God and heaven are still my own. 2 Man may trouble and distress me, 'T will but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me, Heaven will bring me sweeter rest; O 't is not in grief to harm me While Thy love is left to me; O 't were not in joy to charm me, Were that joy unmixed with Thee. 3 Take, my soul, thy full salvation, Rise o'er sin and fear and care; Joy to find in every station Something still to do or bear; Think what Spirit dwells within thee, What a Father's smile is thine, What a Saviour died to win thee: Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine? 4 Haste, then, on from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer; Heaven's eternal day's before thee: God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thy earthly mission; Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days; Hope soon change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Amen. Used With Tune: CRUCIFER
