O Lamb of God, in mercy hear;
Thy voice the broken heart can cheer:
O Lord, beyond expression
Is our sin and trans­gress­ion:
Yet higher still Thy grace doth rise,
Thou once Thy­self our sacrifice.
We sinners life inherit
Through Thy all pow­er­ful merit.
Thy death obtained for us release—
Thy sorrows our eter­nal peace.
Brought forth from darkness into light,
Passed is the deep and awful night:
We are to hope redeemèd.

Henceforth preserve us ever Thine;
Around our path, O Sav­ior! shine:
O come, with peace descending—
Peace ever Thee attending.
Our hearts anew Thy temple’s frame,
All hallowed to Thy glo­ri­ous name:
Where all was desolation
Raise up Thy new creation.
Let all within be lowliness;
Our spirits with Thy Spi­rit bless:
So ev­er­more in us abide;
Thy grace in us be glorified,
O Lamb of God! our Sav­ior!
