1 The great Redeemer's gone
To stand before our God,
To sprinkle o'er the flaming throne
With his attoning blood.
2 No firey vengeance now,
Nor burning wrath comes down;
If justice call for sinners' blood,
The saviour shews his own.
3 Before his Father's eye
Our humble suit he moves;
The Father lays his thunder by,
And looks, and smiles, and loves.
4 Now may our joyful tongues
Our Maker's honour sing;
Jesus, the priest, receives our songs,
And bears them to the king.
5 "On earth thy mercy reigns,
"And triumphs all above;
"But, Lord, how weak are mortal strains
"To speak immortal love!
