       1. Lamb of God, pure and holy,
       Who on the cross didst suffer,
       Ever patient and lowly,
       Thyself to scorn didst offer.
       All sins Thou borest for us,
       Else had despair reigned o'er us:
       Have mercy on us, O Jesus!

       2. Lamb of God, pure and holy,

       Else had despair reigned o'er us:
       Have mercy on us, O Jesus!

       3. Lamb of God, pure and holy,

       Else had despair reigned o'er us:
       Have mercy on us, O Jesus!
