The Lamb was slain! let us adore,
And all His gracious mercy own;
And prostrate now and evermore,
Before His pierced feet fall down,
Serve without dread, with reverence, love
The Lord whose boundless grace we prove!

Through Him alone we live, for He
Hath drowned our transgressions all
In love’s unfathomable sea:
O love, unknown, unsearchable!
The holy Lamb for sin was slain,
That sinners endless life might gain!

As ground, when parched with summer’s heat,
Gladly drinks in the welcome shower,
So would we, listening at His feet,
Receive His words, and feel His power,
Have nothing in our hearts remain
Like this great truth, "The Lamb was slain!"
