Hebrews 4:16: Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne, &c

Through Jesus our Divine High-priest,
Who pleads the sinner's cause in heaven,
Father, presenting our réquest,
We humbly sue to be forgiven;
Mercy we ask in Jesu's name,
Who died for all our sins to' atone,
Who rose our purchased peace to claim,
And now appears before Thy throne.

There, at Thy throne of grace we meet,
United to the' incarnate God,
Boldly approach the mercy-seat,
Which Jesus sprinkled with His blood:
He paid the price on Calvary
For every sinful child of man,
And trusting in His death for me,
My pardon seal'd I now obtain.
t Fatuer, I still His passion plead,
Which bought Thy love for all mankind,
And pardon'd, in this time of need,
I come, confirming grace to find;
Importunate in faithful prayer,
Thy promised succours I implore,
Power to withstand, and strength to bear,
Till sin destroy'd can tempt no more.

The grace I every moment want,
The fresh supplies of faith and love,
God of exhaustless mercy, grant,
In answer to my Friend above:
Increase my faith, confirm my hope,
Complete my love and purity,
And lo, I yield my spirit up,
And find the place prepared for me.
