Author: John Newton 1725-1807
Behold the throne of grace,
the promise calls us near;
there mercy shines in Jesus’ face,
who waits to answer prayer.
2. That rich atoning blood,
which at the cross we see,
provides for those who come to God
an all-prevailing plea.
3. Beyond our deepest need
his love and power can bless;
he always grants to those who plead
more than they can express.
4. Your image, Lord, renew,
your presence and your love;
we ask to work on earth for you
and reign with you above.
5. As now we live by faith
and prove your will divine,
let us victorious be in death
and then in glory shine.
