1 Although oppressed by guilt and shame,
The cleansing pow’r I claim, I claim,
By faith the Lamb of God survey—
He “beareth” all my sins “away!”

Refrain:
Away! Away!” oh, happy thought!
Oh word with blessed comfort fraught!
“Away” within the briny sea!
Like east from west, “away” from me!

2 “Away,” with all their crimson stains,
“Away,” with all their binding chains.
The stream of life that flows for me,
Bears them “away,” and I am free! [Refrain]

3 O Lamb of God I look to Thee,
Each day and hour, to keep me free;
To take the throne and reign within,
And keep Thy kingdom free from sin. [Refrain]
