172. Lamb of God, we fall before Thee

1 Lamb of God, we fall before Thee,
Humbly trusting in Thy cross;
That alone be all our glory,
All things else are only dross.
Thee we own a perfect Saviour,
Only source of all that’s good.
Ev'ry grace and ev'ry favor
Comes to us through Jesus’ blood.

2 Jesus gives us true repentance,
By His Spirit sent from heaven;
Whispers this transporting sentence,
"Son, thy sins are all forgiven."
Faith He grants us to believe it,
Grateful hearts His love to prize:
Want we wisdom? He must give it;
Hearing ears, and seeing eyes.

3 Jesus gives us pure affections,
Wills to do what He requires;
Makes us follow His directions,
And what He commands--inspires.
All our prayers, and all our praises,
Rightly offer'd in His name:
He that dictates them is Jesus;
He that answers is the same.
