Praise God for tidings glad

Praise God for tidings glad—

We’re at the throne of grace;

Our gospel’s not so low

We’re in the highest place.

We’re meeting here around the throne

Enjoying God with all His own.

Enjoying God with all His own.

Start in the outer court

But aim to get inside;

The Holy Place is good

But do not there abide.

Leave sin behind—it’s put away;

We’re in the veil with God to stay.

To rise from earth to heav’n

A deeper turn we need;

To be where Christ is now

Upon the throne indeed.

We’re gathered at the throne of grace

Beholding Jesus face to face.

We’re being turned as one

Not individually;

Not private Christians now

But Body Christians we.

As members here in one accord

We are the Body of the Lord.

As Body Christians now

We have a higher word.

Foundation’s word we see

’Tis altar

cross

and blood.

Perfection’s word is little known

’Tis fellowship around the throne.

Christ is objective too

But subjective are we

In our experience;

Our spirit is the key.

God

throne

and holiest—we see

Our spirit now contains all three.

Leviticus is past

And Aaron’s work is o’er;

Melchisedec is here

High Priest forevermore;

His ministry is now so fine:

He comes to feed us bread and wine.
