Behold the Throne
Behold the Throne
John Newton, 1749. Alt. Davide Marney, 2009
Behold the throne, the throne of grace,,The promise calls and draws us near.,There Jesus shows a smiling face,And waits to hear and answer prayer.,,(Chorus:),My soul, ask what you will,,You cannot be too bold;,Since His own blood He shed,,What else can He withhold?,My soul, ask what you will,,You cannot be too bold;,Since His own blood He shed,,What else can He withhold?,Behold the throne,,the throne of grace,,behold the throne.,,Thine image, Lord, bestow on me,,Thy presence Lord, and all Thy love;,I ask to serve Thee here below,,And reign with Thee in heav'n above.,,(Chorus:),Teach me to live by faith,,Conform my will to Thine;,Give vic'try over death,,And then in glory shine.,Teach me to live by faith,,Conform my will to Thine;,Give vic'try over death,,And then in glory shine.,And there behold,the throne of grace,,behold the throne.,,Beyond our thoughts, our utmost needs,,His love and pow'r alone can bless;,To praying souls He always grants,,More than they know, or can express.,,(Chorus:),That rich, atoning blood,,Which sprinkled round we see,,Provides for those who come,An all-prevailing plea.,It is the Lord's command,forever to provide,,Lord, open up Your hand,,That I may be supplied.,Let me behold,the throne of grace,,behold the throne.
Behold the throne, the throne of grace, / The promise calls, and brings us near. / There Jesus shows a smiling face / And waits to hear and answer prayer...
