I lay my sins on Jesus,The spotless Lamb of God;He bears them all and frees usFrom the accursed load.I bring my guilt to JesusTo wash my crimson stainsClean in His blood most preciousTill not a spot remains.
I lay my wants on Jesus;All fullness dwells in Him;He heals all my diseases;My soul He does redeem.I lay my griefs on Jesus,My burdens and my cares;He from them all releases;He all my sorrows shares.
I rest my soul on Jesus,This weary soul of mine;His right hand me embraces;I on His breast recline.I love the name of Jesus,Immanuel, Christ, the Lord;Like fragrance on the breezesHis name abroad is poured.

1 John 1:7 appears in the first verse: "I bring my guilt to Jesus / To wash my crimson stains / Clean in His blood most precious." This verse also draws on John 1:29: "The next day he [John the Baptist] saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, 'Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!'" The description "crimson" may also point to Isaiah 1:18: "Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool."
Ephesians 1:7 could be cited for both the second half of the first verse and part of the second verse. There's a bit of overlap between it and Colossians 1:14 in the line: "My soul He does redeem."
Matthew 11:29 is referred to at the beginning of the third verse: "I rest my soul on Jesus, / This weary soul of mine."
