1 A Lamb goes uncomplaining forth,
Our guilt and evil bearing
And, laden with the sins of earth,
None else the burden sharing.
Goes patient on, grows weak and faint,
To slaughter led without complaint,
That spotless life to offer,
Bears shame and stripes and wounds and death
Anguish and mockery and says,
"Willing all this I suffer."

4 From morn till eve, in all I do,
I'll praise you, Christ, my treasure.
To sacrifice myself for you
Shall be my aim and pleasure.
My stream of life shall ever be
A current flowing ceaselessly,
Your constant praise outpouring.
I'll treasure in my memory,
O Lord, all you have done for me,
Your gracious love adoring.
