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.

 2  My name is graven on His hands,

    My name is written on His heart;

    I know that while with God He stands

    No tongue can bid me thence depart.

 3  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.

 4  Because the sinless Savior died,

    My sinful soul is counted free;

    For God, the Just, is satisfied

    To look on Him and pardon me.

 5  Behold Him there, the risen Lamb!

    My perfect, spotless Righteousness,

    The great unchangeable I AM,

    The King of glory and of grace.

 6  One with Himself, 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.
