Behold the Lord of all: creation speaks his praise, and everywhere above, below, his will obeys. 3 God's Spirit freely flows, high surging where it will: in prophet's word he spoke of old, is speaking still. Established is God's law and changeless it shall stand, deep written on the human heart, on sea, on land. 4 God has eternal life implanted in the soul; his love shall be our strength and stay while ages roll. Praise to the living God, all praise be to his name, who was, and is, and is to be, and still the same!

Before the Throne of God Above

Author: Charitie Lees DeCheney Bancroft, 1841-1923 Appears in 58 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 1:3 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.
