Representative Text

1 O Lamb of God, most blameless,
Who on the cross didst languish;
Though mocked by hatred shameless,

2 O Lamb of God, most blameless,
Who on the cross didst languish;
Though mocked by hatred shameless,
E'er patient in Thine anguish:
Thou barest our transgression,
That we may gain salvation;
Have mercy on us, O Jesus!

3 O Lamb of God, most blameless,
Who on the cross didst languish;
Though mocked by hatred shameless,
E'er patient in Thine anguish:
Thou barest our transgression,
That we may gain salvation;
Grant us Thy blessing, O Jesus!
