947. Lamb of God, Pure and Holy

Lamb of God, pure and holy,
who on the cross did suffer,
ever patient and lowly,
yourself to scorn did offer.
All sin you carried for us,
else had despair reigned o'er us:

1 have mercy on us, O Jesus! O Jesus!
2 have mercy on us, O Jesus! O Jesus!
3 your peace be with us, O Jesus! O Jesus!
