189. Our Sins Were Borne by Jesus | 7.6.7.6.D. |
| by H. Bonar |

|
| 1 | Our sins were borne by Jesus, |
| The holy Lamb of God; |
| He took them all and freed us |
| From that condemning load. |
| Our guilt was borne by Jesus, |
| Who washed the crimson stains |
| White in His blood most precious, |
| Till not a spot remains. |
|
| 2 | Our wants are known to Jesus; |
| All fullness dwells in Him; |
| He healeth all diseases |
| Who did our souls redeem. |
| We tell our griefs to Jesus— |
| Our burdens and our cares; |
| He from them all releases— |
| Who all our sorrow shares. |
|
| 3 | We love the name of Jesus, |
| The Christ of God, the Lord; |
| Like fragrance on the breezes, |
| His name is spread abroad. |
| We long to be with Jesus, |
| With all the ransomed throng, |
| To sing for aye His praises, |
| The one eternal song. |
