Religion

Lamb of God, whose bleeding love
We thus recall to mind,
Send the answer from above,
And let us mercy find;
Think on us, who think on Thee,
And every struggling soul release:
O remember Calvary,
And bid us go in peace.
By Thine agonizing pain
And bloody sweat we pray,
By Thy dying love to man,
Take all our sins away;
Burst our bonds, and set us free,
From all iniquity release:
O remember Calvary,
And bid us go in peace.
Let Thy blood, by faith applied,
The sinner's pardon seal,
Speak us freely justified,
And all our sickness heal:
By Thy passion on the tree
Let all our griefs and troubles cease;
O remember Calvary,
And bid us go in peace.
Never will we hence depart,
Till Thou our wants relieve,
Write forgiveness on our heart,
And all Thine image give:
Still our souls shall cry to Thee,
Till perfected in holiness:
O remember Calvary,
And bid us go in peace.
