All free from spot or stain;
O help us now to serve Thee
And sing Thy praise again.
2 O Lamb of God most holy,
So great and yet so meek;
May we when pride allures us,
Thy lowly spirit seek.

So kind, and good, and true;
May we when passion tempts us,
Thy gentleness pursue.

To Thee our faith would flee;

And turn our hearts to Thee. Used With Tune: WALSH

Mr. Balfern is the author of Glimpses of Jesus and other prose works of similar character, has been a frequent contributor to Religious Periodicals, and has published the following vols. of poetry:—

Union); Book of Hymns for Sunday School, Lond., Weeks & Co.; Treasury of Sacred Song, Kirkwall, W. Peace; and in a few collections of the Church of England.
They include:—
1. Come unto Me, the Saviour speaks [said]. Invitation.

3. 0 gentle Teacher, ever near. Divine Teacher.
4. 0 Lamb of God, most lowly [holy]. Holiness of Jesus.

Whilst these hymns do not take a high rank as poetry, they are characterised by simplicity of expression, and by devout and earnest, often tender, Christian feeling. Balfern died July 3, 1887. [Rev. W. R. Stevenson, M.A.]

Person Name: Anon. Author of "O Lamb of God Most Lowly" in Northfield Hymnal No. 2 In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
