Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #81 (1918) Meter: 8.7 Lyrics: 1 Lamb of God, we fall before Thee,
Humbly trusting in Thy cross;
That alone be all our glory,
All things else are only dross.
2 Thee we own a perfect Savior,
Only Source of all that's good.
Every grace and every favor
Come to us through Jesus' blood.
3 Jesus gives us true repentance,
By His Spirit sent from heaven;
Whispers this assuring sentence,
"Son, thy sins are all forgiven."
4 Faith He grants us to believe it,
Grateful hearts His love to prize;
Want we wisdom?--He must give it;
Hearing ears, and seeing eyes.
5 Jesus gives us pure affections,
Wills to do what He requires,
Makes us follow His directions,
And what He commands, inspires.
6 All our prayers, and all our praises,
Rightly offered in His name,--
He that dictates them is Jesus;
He that answers is the same.
