From the Same [Anna Dober] Source: Hymns and Sacred Poems (1740), Part I Author: Charles Wesley (attributed) --- From the Same [German].41 Holy Lamb, who thee receive, Who in thee begin to live, Day and night they cry to thee, As thou art, so let us be. Jesu, see my panting breast! See, I pant, in thee to rest! Gladly would I now be clean! Cleanse me now from every sin. Fix, O fix my wavering mind; To thy cross my spirit bind; Earthly passions far remove: Swallow up our souls in love. Dust and ashes, tho’ we be Full of guilt and misery, Thine we are, thou Son of God: Take the purchase of thy blood. Who in heart on thee believes, He th’ atonement now receives: He with joy beholds thy face, Triumphs in thy pard’ning grace. 41Source: Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf, ed.
