Hymn of the week

BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD ABOVE


Before the throne of God above
I have a strong, a perfect plea,
A great high Priest, whose name is Love,
Who ever lives and pleads for me.

When Satan tempts me to despair,
Telling of evil yet within,
Upward I look, and see Him there
Who made an end of all my sin.

Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free.
For God, the Just, is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me.

Behold Him there! the once slain Lamb!
My perfect, spotless Righteousness,
The great unchangeable I AM,
The King of glory and of grace.

One with Himself, I cannot die:
My soul is purchased by His blood;
My life is hid with Christ on high,
With Christ, my Savior and my God.
