GRAVEN ON THE PALMS OF HIS HANDS, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Jesus, the lamb of god, hath bled
Last Line: Jesus, thou canst not pray in vain.
Subject(s): Jesus Christ


Jesus, the Lamb of God, hath bled;
He bore our sins upon the tree;
Beneath our curse He bow'd His head;--
'Tis finish'd! He hath died for me.

See, where before the throne He stands,
And pours the all-prevailing prayer;
Points to His side, and lifts His hands,
And shows that I am graven there.

He ever lives for me to pray;
He prays that I with Him may reign.
Amen to what my Lord doth say;
Jesus, Thou canst not pray in vain.
