Tune: My Jesus, I would ne´er forget… (Danish: Hin time i Getsemane…)
Awed am I at Thy cross of shame There in the dust deep low I praise its merits and proclaim of nothing else I know!
Chorus: Praise be the Lamb, praise be the Lamb, Praise be the Trinity, Forever saved in Him I am, My happy boast is He!
“Forsaken” was His cry that hour, I know it was for me, But in that cross there is that power That is for God my plea!
My journey soon comes to an end When up He´ll rapture me, But still as sinners´ faithful friend, Whose blood has bought me free!
O, are you lost and have no rest? Do hear the gospel news For cursed was he, but you´ll be blest, If humbly Christ you choose!
Gethsemane and Calvary, Not human glory vain, I there will dwell, for there I see the Lamb once for me slain!
