"O holy Lamb!"

Hymnal: Laudes Domini #584 (1884) Topics: Absence from God; Absence from God; Absence from God First Line: O Saviour, lend a listening ear Lyrics: 1 O Saviour, lend a listening ear, And answer my request! Forgive, and wipe the falling tear, Now with thy love my spirit cheer, And set my heart at rest. 2 I mourn the hidings of thy face; The absence of that smile, Which led me to a throne of grace, And gave my soul a resting-place, From earthly care and toil. 3 'Tis sin that separates from thee This poor benighted soul; My folly and my guilt I see, And now upon the bended knee, I yield to thy control. 4 Up to the place of thine abode I lift my waiting eye; To thee, O holy Lamb of God! Whose blood for me so freely flowed, I raise my ardent cry. Languages: English

[3 The Thunder of that dismal Word Would so torment my Ear, 'Twould tear my Soul asunder, Lord, With most Tormenting Fear.] [4 What, to be banish'd from my Life, And yet forbid to die? To linger in eternal Pain, Yet Death for ever fly?] 5 O wretched State of deep Despair, To see my God remove, And fix my doleful Station where I must not taste his Love. 6 Jesus, I throw my Arms around, And hang upon thy Breast; Without a gracious Smile from Thee, My Spirit cannot rest. 7 O tell me that my worthless Name Is graven on thy Hands, Shew me some Promise in thy Book Where my Salvation stands. [8 Give me one kind assuring Word To sink my Fears again; And chearfully my Soul shall wait Her Threescore Years and Ten.] Languages: English
