  1. 1Behold the Throne of grace!
  2. The promise calls me near:
  3. There Jesus shows a smiling face
  4. And waits to answer prayer.
  5. 2My soul, ask what thou wilt;
  6. Thou canst not be too bold;
  7. Since His own blood for thee He spilt,
  8. What else can He withhold?
  9. 3Thine image, Lord, bestow,
  10. Thy presence and Thy love;
  11. I ask to serve Thee here below,
  12. And reign with Thee above.
  13. 4Teach me to live by faith;
  14. Conform my will to Thine;
  15. Let me victorious be in death,
  16. And then in glory shine.
  17. 5Amen.
