Before the throne of God above

Author: Charitie L. De Chenez (1841-1923) Appears in 57 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 49:16 Lyrics: 1 Before the throne of God above I have a strong, a 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. 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 Saviour died, my sinful soul is counted free; for God the just is satisfied 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 Saviour and my God.

Isaiah 49:13-17: Ye heav'ns send forth your song of praise!

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 49:13-17 First Line: Ye heav'ns send forth your song of praise! Lyrics: Ye heav’ns send forth your song of praise! earth, raise your voice below! Let hills and mountains join the hymn, and joy through nature flow. Behold how gracious is our God! hear the consoling strains, In which he cheers our drooping hearts, and mitigates our pains. Cease ye, when days of darkness come, in sad dismay to mourn, As if the Lord could leave his saints forsaken or forlorn. Can the fond mother e’er forget the infant whom she bore? And can its plaintive cries be heard, nor move compassion more? She may forget: nature may fail a parent’s heart to move; But Sion on my heart shall dwell in everlasting love. Full in my sight, upon my hands I have engraved her name: My hands shall build her ruined walls, and raise her broken frame.
