461. I lay my sins on Jesus

1 I lay my sins on Jesus,
The spotless Lamb of God;
He bears them all, and frees us
From the accursed load.

2 I lay my wants on Jesus,
All fulness dwells in him,
He healeth my diseases,
He doth my soul redeem.

3 I lay my griefs on Jesus,
My burdens and my cares;
He from them all releases,
He all my sorrow shares.

4 I long to be like Jesus,
Meek, loving, lowly mild;
I long to be like Jesus,
The Father's holy child.
