From the accursed load. From heav'n He came and sought her I bring my guilt to Jesus To be His holy bride; To wash my crimson stains With His own blood He bought her, Clean in His blood most precious And for her life He died. Till not a spot remains.

2. Elect from ev'ry nation, 2. I lay my wants on Jesus; Yet one o’er all the earth; All fulness dwells in Him; Her charter of salvation: He heals all my diseases; One Lord, one faith, one birth. My soul He does redeem. One holy name she blesses, I lay my griefs on Jesus, Partakes one holy food, My burdens and my cares; And to one hope she presses He from them all releases; With ev'ry grace endued. He all my sorrows shares.

3. Though with a scornful wonder 3. I rest my soul on Jesus, The world sees her oppressed, This weary soul of mine; By schisms rent asunder, His right hand me embraces; By heresies distressed, I on His breast recline. Yet saints their watch are keeping; I love the name of Jesus, Their cry goes up, “How long?” Immanuel, Christ, the Lord; And soon the night of weeping Like fragrance on the breezes Shall be the morn of song. His name abroad is poured. DISTRIBUTION HYMN “Love Divine, All Loves Excelling” LSB 700 CLOSING HYMN “Lift High the Cross” LSB 837
