We praise Thee, O Lord Jesus, Thou
|
|
| 1. | We praise Thee, O Lord Jesus, Thou |
| | didst come, |
| | The way into God's presence to reveal. |
| | We worship Thee that Thou didst leave |
| | Thy throne, |
| | To come as our High Priest with sin to |
| | deal. |
| | Lord Jesus, Thou hast offered Thine |
| | own blood, |
| | And settled once for all our peace with |
| | God. |
| 2. | Thy blood has now been sprinkled on |
| | the throne |
| | In full redemption for Thy people's sin. |
| | The sweetness of the love that Thou |
| | hast shown |
| | Has ris'n to fill the holiest place within. |
| | And by the blood once offered in that |
| | place |
| | God flows to us in mercy and in grace. |
| 3. | Yet, Lord, Thou camest not just to |
| | atone, |
| | But Thou didst come and bear our sins |
| | away. |
| | We, with a conscience purged, |
| | approach the throne, |
| | For all our sins were laid on Thee that |
| | day. |
| | Thou, separated from the Father's face, |
| | Didst pay the awful price for us in |
| | grace. |
| 4. | The way into God's presence thus is |
| | cleared, |
| | For ransomed sinners who have heard |
| | Thy call. |
| | Thou, Lord, hast taken all that we had |
| | feared |
| | When Thou didst shed Thy blood and |
| | give Thine all; |
| | Our heart in grateful praise to Thee we |
| | bind, |
| | And now our life in Thee alone we |
| | find. |
