English text Charles Wesley 1742 1. Lamb of God for sinners slain, To thee I feebly pray, Heal me of my grief and pain, O take my sins away. From this bondage, Lord, release, No longer let me be oppressed: Jesus, Master, seal my peace, And take me to thy breast. 3. Wilt thou cast a sinner out Who humbly comes to thee? No, my God, I cannot doubt, Thy mercy is for me: Let me then obtain the grace, And be of paradise possessed: Jesus, Master, seal my peace, And take me to thy breast. 5. Worldly good I do not want, Be that to others given, Only for thy love I pant, My all in earth and heaven; This the crown I fain would seize, The good wherewith I would be blest: Jesus, Master, seal my peace, And take me to thy breast. 6. This delight I fain would prove, And then resign my breath, Join the happy few, whose love Was mightier than death. Let it not my Lord displease, That I would die to be thy guest; Jesus, Master, seal my peace, And take me to thy breast.
