Behold the throne of grace

1

Behold the throne of grace!The promise calls me near;There Jesus shows a smiling face,And waits my prayer to hear.

2

That rich atoning blood,Which sprinkled round I see,Provides for those who come to GodAn all-prevailing plea.

3

My soul! ask what thou wilt;Thou canst not be too bold:Since his own blood for thee he spilt,What else can he withhold?

4

Thine image, Lord, bestow,Thy presence and thy love;I ask to serve thee here below,And reign with thee above.

5

Teach me to live by faith;Conform my will to thine;Let me victorious be in death,And then in glory shine.
