O Jesus! Lamb of God,
 
Who us to save from loss,
 
Didst taste the bitter cup of death,
 
Upon the cross.
“The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” (John 1:29)
“And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!” (John 1:36)
“But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.” (Hebrews 2:9)

Most merciful High Priest,
 
Our Savior, Shepherd, Friend,
 
’Tis in Thy love alone we trust
 
Until the end.

Thou wilt our souls sustain,
 
Our Guide and Strength wilt be,
 
Until in glory, Lord, above,
 
Thy face we see.
