Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. ‎#a120

a120. O Jesus, Lamb of God, who art

1 O Jesus, Lamb of God, who art
The Life and Comfort of my heart:
From wrath I, wretched sinner, Flee
With all my many sins to Thee.

2 O God, my sinfulness is great!
I groan beneath a dreadful weight;
Yet, be Thou merciful, I pray,
And take my guilty curse away.

3 St. John, the Baptist, biddeth me
To cast my burden, Lamb, on Thee:
Since Thou art come, as Friend indeed,
To succor me and all in need.

4 Grant that I may amend my ways,
And keep Thy Word throughout my days:
To this end, Lord, abide with me,
And when I die take me to Thee.
