We praise Thee, O Lord Jesus, Thou didst come

We praise Thee

O Lord Jesus

Thou didst come

The way into God’s presence to reveal.

We worship Thee that Thou didst leave Thy throne

To come as our High Priest with sin to deal.

Lord Jesus

Thou hast offered Thine own blood

And settled once for all our peace with God.

Thy blood has now been sprinkled on the throne

In full redemption for Thy people’s sin.

The sweetness of the love that Thou hast shown

Has ris’n to fill the holiest place within.

And by the blood once offered in that place

God flows to us in mercy and in grace.

Yet

Lord

Thou camest not just to atone

But Thou didst come and bear our sins away.

We

with a conscience purged

approach the throne

For all our sins were laid on Thee that day.

Thou

separated from the Father’s face

Didst pay the awful price for us in grace.

The way into God’s presence thus is cleared

For ransomed sinners who have heard Thy call.

Thou

Lord

hast taken all that we had feared

When Thou didst shed Thy blood and give Thine all;

Our heart in grateful praise to Thee we bind

And now our life in Thee alone we find.
