Hymns in Lent - Wednesday in Holy Week

 Holy Lamb, who thee receive,
Who in thee begin to live,
Day and night they cry to thee,
As thou art, so let us be.

Jesus see my panting breast:
See I pant in thee to rest!
Gladly would I now be clean:
Cleanse me now from every Sin.

 Fix, O fix my wav'ring Mind;
To thy cross my spirit bind;
Earthly passions far remove:
Swallow up our souls in love.

Dust and ashes though we be,
Full of guilt and misery,
Thine we are, thou Son of God:
Take the purchase of thy Blood.

Who in heart on thee believes,
He th' atonement now receives:
He with joy beholds thy face,
Triumphs in thy pard'ning grace.

 See, ye sinners, see the flame
Rising from the slaughter'd Lamb;
Mark the new, the living way,
Leading to eternal day.


Jesu, when this light we see,
All our soul's athirst for thee;
When thy quick'ning pow'r we prove,
All our heart dissolves in love.


Boundless wisdom, power divine;
Love unspeakable are thine:
Praise by all to thee be given,
Sons of earth, and hosts of heaven.
