CH
Ecce Agnus Dei,
Behold the Lamb of God,
Behold Him who takes away the sins of the world.
V1
He who eats my flesh,
He who drinks my blood,
He shall live fore'er (forever) and I will raise him up.
I am the Living Bread which came down from heaven, O Ecce Agnus Dei, Behold the Lamb of God.
V2
Come to him O man,
Come O poor sinner,
He awaits you that He may give you life.
He is the Lord who laid His life down to save you, O Ecce Agnus Dei, Behold the Lamb of God.
V3
By and by O sin,
By and by this world,
Only for a while and I will fare thee well.
For it's the Lord who gives my soul life in fullness, O Ecce Agnus Dei, Behold the Lamb of God.
