Lyrics
Font size:
I have been at the altar and witnessed the Lamb
Burnt wholly to ashes for me;
And watched its sweet savour ascending on high,
Accepted, O Father, by Thee.
And lo, while I gazed at the glorious sight,
A voice from above reached mine ears:
By this thine iniquity's taken away,
And no trace of it on thee appears.
An end of thy sin has been made for thee here
By Him who its penalty bore;
With blood it is blotted eternally out,
And I will not remember it more.
O Lord, I believe it with wonder and joy;
Confirm, Thou, this precious belief;
While daily I learn that I am in myself
Of sinners the vilest and chief.
Burnt wholly to ashes for me;
And watched its sweet savour ascending on high,
Accepted, O Father, by Thee.
And lo, while I gazed at the glorious sight,
A voice from above reached mine ears:
By this thine iniquity's taken away,
And no trace of it on thee appears.
An end of thy sin has been made for thee here
By Him who its penalty bore;
With blood it is blotted eternally out,
And I will not remember it more.
O Lord, I believe it with wonder and joy;
Confirm, Thou, this precious belief;
While daily I learn that I am in myself
Of sinners the vilest and chief.
