Before the throne of God above

Author: Charitie Lees De Chenez (1841-1923) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #598 (2013) Topics: Despair and Trouble 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, 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, 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 my Lord, 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, with Christ, my Saviour and my God.
