On the Lamb our souls are resting,
 
What His love no tongue can say,
 
All our sins, so great, so many,
 
In His blood are washed away.
“And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.” (Ephesians 3:19)
“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7)
“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood.” (Revelation 1:5)

Sweetest rest and peace have filled us,
 
Sweeter praise than tongue can tell;
 
God is satisfied with Jesus,
 
We are satisfied as well.
“Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.” (Matthew 11:28-29)
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” (John 14:27)
“And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3:17)
“His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.” (Song of Solomon 5:16)

Conscience now no more condemns us,
 
For His own most precious blood
 
Once for all has washed and cleansed us,
 
Cleansed us in the eyes of God.
“How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” (Hebrews 9:14)
“Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.” (Hebrews 10:22)
“By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.” (Hebrews 10:10)

Filled with this sweet peace forever,
 
On we go, through strife and care,
 
Till we find that peace around us
 
In the Lamb’s high glory there.
