Behold the throne of grace,
The promise calls us near;
There Jesus shows a smiling face,
And waits to answer prayer.
That rich atoning blood,
Which sprinkled round we see,
Provides for those who come to God
An all-prevailing plea.
Beyond our utmost wants
His love and power can bless;
To praying souls He always grants
More than they can express.
Thine image, Lord, bestow,
Thy presence and Thy love;
We ask to serve Thee here below,
And reign with Thee above.
Abiding in Thy faith,
Our will conformed to Thine,
Let us victorious be in death,
And then in glory shine.
