Verse 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.

Chorus 1

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.

Verse 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 to all my sin.

Chorus 2

Because the sinless Saviour 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.

Verse 3

Behold him there! the risen Lamb,

my perfect, spotless Righteousness,

the great unchangeable I AM,

the King of glory and of grace!

Chorus 3

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

with Christ, my Saviour and my God
