1 Lamb of God! our souls adore Thee,
There the Father's love and glory
Shine in all their brightest rays;
Thine Almighty pow'r and wisdom
All creation's works proclaim;
2 Lamb of God! Thy Father's bosom
His delight, in Him rejoicing,
One with Him in pow'r and grace;
O what wondrous love and mercy!
3 Lamb of God! When we behold Thee
Wand'ring as a homeless stranger
In the world Thy hands had made;
When we see Thee in the garden
4 When we see Thee, as the victim,
For our guilt and folly stricken,
All our judgment borne by Thee,
Lord, we own, with hearts adoring,
5 Lamb of God, Thou soon in glory
Wilt to this sad earth return;
All Thy foes shall quake before Thee,
All that now despise Thee mourn;
Then Thy saints all gathered to Thee,
With Thee in Thy kingdom reign;
