O Lamb of God, still keep us Close to Thy pierced side; 'Tis only there in safety And peace we can abide; With foes and snares around us, And lusts and fears within, The grace that sought and found us Alone can keep us clean. | |
| 2 |
'Tis only in Thee hiding We feel ourselves secure; Only in Thee abiding The conflict can endure; Thine arm the vict'ry gaineth O'er every hateful foe; Thy love our hearts sustaineth In all their cares and woe. | |
| 3 |
Soon shall our eyes behold Thee With rapture, face to face; And, resting there in glory, We'll sing Thy power and grace; Thy beauty, Lord, and glory, The wonders of Thy love, Shall be the endless story Of all Thy saints above. | |
