Calvary's Lamb

Author: John Newton Hymnal: SSR1907 #1 (1907) First Line: In evil long I took delight Refrain First Line: Oh, the Lamb, the bleeding Lamb Lyrics: 1 In evil long I took delight, Unawed by shame or fear, Till a new object met my sight, And stopp’d my wild career. Chorus: Oh, the Lamb, the bleeding Lamb, The Lamb on Calvary, The Lamb that was slain and liveth again To intercede for me. 2 I saw One hanging on a tree In agonies and blood, Who fixed His languid eyes on me, As near the cross I stood. [Chorus] 3 Sure never till my latest breath Can I forget that look, It seem’d to charge me with His death, Tho’ not a word He spoke. [Chorus] 4 My conscience felt and owned my guilt, And plung’d me in despair, I saw my sins His blood had spilt, And helped to nail Him there. [Chorus] 5 A second look He gave, which said, “I freely all forgive, This blood is for thy ransom paid, I die, that thou may’st live.” [Chorus] 6 Thus, while His death my sins displays In all its blackest hue, Such is the mystery of grace, It seals my pardon too. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [In evil long I took delight]

Chorus: Not empty-handed would I go To meet my Lord who loves me so; Not empty-handed would I go, But laden with golden sheaves. 2 Daily going forth to seek the lost; never service was so sweet; Bringing them, whatever it may cost, To the dear Redeemer’s feet. [Chorus] 3 While the summer’s sun is shining bright, Till the evening shadows dim, Toiling in the fields to harvest white, Winning precious souls for Him. [Chorus] 4 Bringing to the garner of the Lord Souls my labors here have won; God’s approving smile my rich reward, And His gracious “Child, well done!” [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [He that, weeping, goeth forth to sow]
