Author: Charitie L. De Chenez (1841-1923) Hymnal: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise #466 (2008) Scripture: Romans 6:8-9 Lyrics: 1 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.
My name is graven on his hands,
my name is written on his heart;
I know that while in heaven he stands
no tongue can bid me thence depart.
2 When Satan tempts me to despair,
and tells me of the guilt within,
upward I look, and see him there
who made an end of all my sin.
Because the sinless Saviour died,
my sinful soul is counted free;
for God the just is satisfied
to look on him and pardon me.
3 Behold him there! the risen 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 Saviour and my God. Topics: Christ Risen Reign and Priesthood; Assurance; Salvation and Redemption; Temptation Languages: English Tune Title: BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD ABOVE
