Before the Throne of God Above

Author: Charitie Lees DeCheney Bancroft, 1841-1923 Meter: 8.8.8.8 D with repeat Appears in 58 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 2:1-2 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 heaven 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! One with himself 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.
