I Lay My Sins on Jesus

Verse 1
I lay my sins on Je­sus, (Isa. 53:6, I Pet. 2:24)
The spot­less Lamb of God; (John 1:29, I Pet. 1:19)
He bears them all, and frees us (Isa. 53:6)
From the ac­curs­èd load; (Gal. 3:13)
I bring my guilt to Je­sus,
To wash my crim­son stains
White in His blood most pre­cious, (I Pet. 1:19)
Till not a stain re­mains. (Isa. 1:18, I John 1:7, Rev. 1:5, Rev. 7:14)

Verse 2
I lay my wants on Je­sus;
All full­ness dwells in Him; (Col. 1:19, Col. 2:9)
He heals all my dis­eas­es, (Ps. 103:3, Matt. 8:17)
He doth my soul re­deem: (Ps. 34:22, Ps. 49:15, Ps. 69:18, Ps. 71:23)
I lay my griefs on Je­sus, (Isa. 53:4)
My bur­dens and my cares; (Ps. 55:22, Matt. 11:28, I Pet. 5:7)
He from them all re­leas­es,
He all my sor­rows shares. (Isa. 53:4)

Verse 3
I rest my soul on Je­sus, (Matt. 11:29)
This wea­ry soul of mine; (Matt. 11:28)
His right hand me em­brac­es, (Song of Solomon 2:6, Song of Solomon 8:3)
I on His breast re­cline. (John 13:25, John 21:20)
I love the name of Je­sus,
Immanuel, Christ, the Lord; (Isa. 7:14, Matt. 1:23, Luke 2:11)
Like frag­rance on the breez­es
His name abroad is poured. (Song of Solomon 1:3)

Verse 4
I long to be like Je­sus, (I John 3:2-3)
Meek, lov­ing, low­ly, mild; (Matt. 11:29)
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. (Rev. 4:8-11, Rev. 5:8-14, Rev. 7:11-12)
