- 1I 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 so precious,
- Till not a spot remains.
- 2I 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.
- 3I 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.
