A follower of the bleeding Lamb

Verse 1
A Follower of the Bleeding Lamb
Her Burthen here laid down,
The Cross of Jesus’ Pain and Shame
Exchanging for the Crown.

Verse 2
True Witness for her Pardning Lord,
Whose Blood She felt applied,
She kept the Faith, obey’d the Word,
And liv’d a Saint and died.

Verse 3
Reader, her Life and Death approve,
Believe thy Sins forgiven,
Be pure in Heart, be fill’d with Love,
And follow Her to Heaven.
