Author: John Newton Hymnal: Laudes Domini #51 (1890) First Line: Behold the throne of grace! Lyrics: 1 Behold the throne of grace!
The promise calls me near;
There Jesus shows a smiling face,
And waits to answer prayer.
2 That rich atoning blood,
Which sprinkled round I see,
Provides for those who come to God
An all-prevailing plea.
3 My soul! ask what thou wilt;
Thou canst not be too bold:
Since his own blood for thee he spilt,
What else can he withhold?
4 Thine image, Lord, bestow,
Thy presence and thy love;
I ask to serve thee here below,
And reign with thee above.
5 Teach me to live by faith;
Conform my will to thine:
Let me victorious be in death,
And then in glory shine. Topics: Prayer and Invocation; Close of Worship; Opening of Service; Prayer; Close of Worship; Opening of Service; Prayer Languages: English
