| 1. I have been at the altar
and witnessed the Lamb
Burnt wholly to ashes for me;
And watched its sweet saviour
ascending on high,
Accepted, O Father, by Thee.
2. And lo, while I gazed
at the glorious sight,
A voice from above reached mine ears:
“By this thine iniquity’s taken away,
And no trace of it on thee appears.
3. “An end of thy sin has been
made for thee here
By Him who its penalty bore;
With blood it is blotted eternally out,
And I will not remember it more.”
4. O Lord, I believe it
with wonder and joy;
Confirm Thou, this precious belief;
While daily I learn that I am, in myself,
Of sinners the vilest and chief.
