I Lay My Sins on Jesus

1I lay my sins on Jesus,
The spotless Lamb of God;
He bears them all, and frees us From the accursed load;
I bring my guilt to Jesus,
To wash my crimson stains White in His blood most precious,
Till not a stain remains.

2I lay my wants on Jesus;
All fullness dwells in Him;
He healeth my diseases,
He doth my soul redeem;
I lay my griefs on Jesus,
My burdens and my cares;
He from them all releases,
He all my sorrow shares.

3I long to be like Jesus,
Meek, loving, lowly, mild;
I long to be like Jesus,
The Father's holy child;
I long to be with Jesus Amid the heavenly throng,
To sing with saints His praises,
And learn the angels' song.
