I Lay My Sins On Jesus Lyrics

By Horatius Bonar

I 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 spot remains.



I lay my wants on Jesus,

All fulness 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 sorrows shares.



I rest my soul on Jesus,

This weary soul of mine;

His right hand me embraces,

I on His breast recline.

I love the name of Jesus,

Immanuel, Christ the Lord;

Like fragrance on the breezes

His name abroad is poured.



I 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,

To learn the angels' song.
