Lamb of God! our souls adore Thee

Lamb of God! our souls adore Thee. James George Deck* (1802-1884). First published in an Appendix in the 1841 edition of George Vicesimus Wigram*’s Hymns for the Poor of the Flock (1838). It had seven stanzas, carrying the narrative of the life of Christ, with appropriate reflection. It began: Lamb of God! our souls adore Thee,  While upon Thy face we gaze;There the Father's love and glory  Shine in all their brightest rays;Thine almighty power and wisdom  All creation’s works proclaim;Heaven and earth alike confess Thee  As the ever great I AM. Stanzas 1-4 were printed in Christian Worship (Exeter, Paternoster Press, 1976). Stanzas 5-7 are normally separated from this to make up the hymn...
