Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world,
Have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world,
Have mercy in us.
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world,
Grant us peace.
Lambs were sacrificed during the first feast of the Passover. They were the unblemished ones who were killed, and their blood was used to save God's people from the Angel of Death. Even though this was from the Old Testament, it still has so much meaning today. It foreshadowed Jesus Christ, our sacrificial Lamb.
Jesus is the unblemished one. He was killed to save all of us, God's people. He was sacrificed so that the Angel of Death will have no power over us. He takes away our sins
and grants us peace.
Without Christ, we would have no life within us. Without His sacrifice, we would have no hope for a life beyond this. Without His love, we would be worthless slaves to sin.
This little Lamb, so meek and humble and yet so strong and mighty, is the source of our joy, the light to our broken world, the hope of all humanity. O come let us adore.
