1 O Jesus, lamb of God,
Our Saviour and our Friend,
To us thy heart of mercy turn,
To us now condescend.

2 We mourn our many sins,
Forgive them all we pray,
And wash our spirits pure and clean,
Oh, take our guilt away.

3 Preserve us from the wrong,
And help us do the right,
And lead us by thy loving hand
To yonder world of light.
