336. 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.
Every grace and every favour
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 now 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.
