Before the Throne of God Above

Author: Charitie Lees DeCheney Bancroft, 1841-1923 Appears in 58 hymnals Scripture: Romans 3:25-26 Lyrics: 1 Before the throne of God above I have a strong and perfect plea; a great High Priest whose name is Love, who ever lives and pleads for me. My name is graven on his hands, my name is written on his heart. I know that while in heav'n he stands no tongue can bid me thence depart, no tongue can bid me thence depart. 2 When Satan tempts me to despair and tells me of the guilt within, upward I look and see him there who made an end of all my sin. Because the sinless Savior died, my sinful soul is counted free; for God the just is satisfied to look on him and pardon me, to look on him and pardon me. 3 Behold him there, the risen Lamb, my perfect, spotless righteousness, the great unchangeable I AM, the King of glory and of grace. At one with him, I cannot die; my soul is purchased by his blood. My life is hid with Christ on high, with Christ my Savior and my God, with Christ my Savior and my God.

I Saw the Cross of Jesus

Author: Frederick Whitfield Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 56 hymnals Scripture: Romans 3:25 Lyrics: 1. I saw the cross of Jesus, When burdened with my sin; I sought the cross of Jesus, To give me peace within; I brought my soul to Jesus, He cleansed it in His blood; And in the cross of Jesus I found my peace with God. 2. I love the cross of Jesus, It tells me what I am-- A vile and guilty creature, Saved only thro' the Lamb; No righteousness nor merit, No beauty can I plead; Yet in the cross I glory, My title there I read. 3. I trust the cross of Jesus, In ev'ry trying hour, My sure and certain refuege, My never-failing tow’r; In ev'ry fear and conflict, I more than conquerer am; Living, I'm safe, or dying, Thro' Christ, the risen Lamb. 4. Safe in the cross of Jesus! There let my weary heart Still rest in peace unshaken, Till with Him, ne'er to part; And then in strains of glory I'll sing His wondrous pow'r, Where sin can never enter, And death is known no more.
