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.
