|
<p>A Lamb goes uncomplaining forth,<br>
|
|
The guilt of all men bearing;<br>
|
|
And laden with the sins of earth,<br>
|
|
None else the burden sharing!<br>
|
|
Goes patient on, grow weak and faint,<br>
|
|
To slaughter led without complaint,<br>
|
|
That spotless life to offer;<br>
|
|
Bears shame and stripes, and wounds and death,<br>
|
|
Anguish and mockery, and saith,<br>
|
|
“Willing all this I suffer.”</p>
|
|
<p>This Lamb is Christ, the soul’s great Friend,<br>
|
|
The Lamb of God, our Savior;<br>
|
|
Him God the Father chose to send<br>
|
|
To gain for us His favor.<br>
|
|
“Go forth, My Son,” the Father saith,<br>
|
|
“And free men from the fear of death,<br>
|
|
From guilt and condemnation.<br>
|
|
The wrath and stripes are hard to bear,<br>
|
|
But by Thy Passion men shall share<br>
|
|
The fruit of Thy salvation.”</p>
|
|
<p>“Yea, Father, yea, most willingly<br>
|
|
I’ll bear what Thou commandest;<br>
|
|
My will conforms to Thy decree,<br>
|
|
I do what Thou demandest.”<br>
|
|
O wondrous Love, what hast Thou done!<br>
|
|
The Father offers up His Son!<br>
|
|
The Son, content, descendeth!<br>
|
|
O Love, how strong Thou art to save!<br>
|
|
Thou beddest Him within the grave<br>
|
|
Whose word the mountains rendeth.</p>
|
|
<p>From morn till eve my theme shall be<br>
|
|
Thy mercy’s wondrous measure;<br>
|
|
To sacrifice myself for Thee<br>
|
|
Shall be my aim and pleasure.<br>
|
|
My stream of life shall ever be<br>
|
|
A current flowing ceaselessly,<br>
|
|
Thy constant praise outpouring.<br>
|
|
I’ll treasure in my memory,<br>
|
|
O Lord, all Thou hast done for me,<br>
|
|
Thy gracious love adoring.</p>
|
|
<p>Of death I am no more afraid,<br>
|
|
New life from Thee is flowing;<br>
|
|
Thy cross affords me cooling shade<br>
|
|
When noonday’s sun is glowing.<br>
|
|
When by my grief I am oppressed,<br>
|
|
On Thee my weary soul shall rest<br>
|
|
Serenely as on pillows.<br>
|
|
Thou art my Anchor when by woe<br>
|
|
My bark is driven to and fro<br>
|
|
On trouble’s surging billows.</p>
|
|
<p>And when Thy glory I shall see<br>
|
|
And taste Thy kingdom’s pleasure,<br>
|
|
Thy blood my royal robe shall be,<br>
|
|
My joy beyond all measure.<br>
|
|
When I appear before Thy throne,<br>
|
|
Thy righteousness shall be my crown—<br>
|
|
With these I need not hide me.<br>
|
|
And there, in garments richly wrought<br>
|
|
As Thine own bride, I shall be brought<br>
|
|
To stand in joy beside Thee.</p>
