Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Hymnal of the Methodist Episcopal Church #378 (1891) Topics: Penitence Penitence First Line: O Lamb of God, for sinners slain Lyrics: 1 O Lamb of God, for sinners slain,I plead with thee, my suit to gain, —I plead what thou hast done:Didst thou not die the death for me?Jesus, remember Calvary,And break my heart of stone.2 Take the dear purchase of thy blood,My Friend and Advocate with God,My Ransom and my Peace,Surety, who all my debt hast paid,For all my sins atonement made,The Lord my Righteousness.3 O let thy Spirit shed abroadThe love, the perfect love of God,In this cold heart of mine!O might he now descend, and rest,And dwell forever in my breast,And make it all divine!
