Text Based On Luke Chapter 22
And being in an agony he prayed more
earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great
drops of blood falling down to the ground.
Lamb of God
When we see Thee, as the Victim,
Bound for us upon the tree,
For our guilt and folly stricken,
All our judgment born by Thee —
Lord, we own, with hearts adoring,
Thou hast loved us unto blood:
Glory, glory everlasting,
Be to Thee, Thou Lamb of God!
Lamb of God! Thy Father's bosom
Ever was Thy dwelling place;
His delight, in Him rejoicing,
One with Him in power and grace;
Oh, that wondrous love and mercy —
Thou didst lay Thy glory by,
And for us didst come from heaven,
As the Lamb of God, to die!
Lamb of God! When we behold Thee
Lowly in the manger laid,
Wandering as a homeless stranger
In this world Thy hands had made;
When we see Thee in the garden,
In Thine agony of blood,
At Thy grace we are confounded,
Holy, spotless, Lamb of God!
Lamb of God! Our souls respect Thee
While upon Thy Word we gaze;
There the Father's love and glory
Shine in all their brightest rays;
Thine almighty power and wisdom
All creation's works proclaim;
Heaven and earth alike confess Thee
As the ever great "I AM."
