I bring my guilt to Jesus, To wash my crimson stains White in His blood most precious Till not a stain remains, Till not a stain remains.

I lay my wants on Jesus, All fullness dwells in Him; He healeth my diseases He doth my soul redeem, He doth my soul redeem

Verse 4

I long to be with Jesus, Meek, loving, lowly, mild; I long to be like Jesus The Father’s holy child, The Father’s holy child.

Verse 5

I long to be with Jesus Amid the heav’nly throng, To sing with them His praises, And learn the angels’ song. And learn the angels’ song.
