Hymn
Access to the Throne of Grace by a Mediator
Come, let us lift our joyful eyes,
Up to the courts above,
And smile to see the Father there,
Upon a throne of love.
Now we may bow before his feet,
And venture near the Lord:
No fiery cherub guards his seat,
Nor double flaming sword.
The peaceful gates of heavenly bliss
Are opened by the Son;
High let us raise our notes of praise,
And reach the almighty throne.
To thee ten thousand thanks we bring,
Great Advocate on high,
And glory to the eternal King,
Who lays his anger by.
