Jude 24, 25. Unto Him that is able to PRESENT you faultless
before the presence of His glory — to the only wise God
our Saviour.

The only wise almighty God
Is able by His grace
Us to present, in love renew'd
Before His glorious face:
And He whose promises are sure,
Returning for His bride,
Will to Himself present us pure,
And wholly sanctified.

Jesus, who bought us with His blood,
Who makes us pure in heart,
The only wise, almighty God,
Our Saviour we assert:
The glorious presence is His own;
And when the sight is given,
Beholding Jesus on His throne,
We reach our highest heaven.
