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 to 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 himself I cannot die,
My soul is purchased with his blood;
My life is hid with Christ on high,
With Christ my Saviour and my God,
With Christ my Saviour and my God.
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 to 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 himself I cannot die,
My soul is purchased with his blood;
My life is hid with Christ on high,
With Christ my Saviour and my God,
With Christ my Saviour and my God.
