Hymn 8
A Throne of Grace
ARLINGTON, C.M.
A throne of grace! Then let us go
And offer up our prayer;
A gracious God will mercy show
To all that worship there.
A throne of grace: O at that throne
Our knees have often bent;
And God has show'red His blessings down
As often as we went.
A throne of grace! Rejoice, ye saints,
That throne is open still;
To God unbosom your complaints,
And then inquire His will.
A throne of grace we yet shall need,
Long as we draw our breath;
A Savior, too, to intercede,
Till we are changed by death.
The throne of glory then shall glow
With beams from Jesus' face;
And we no longer want shall know,
Nor need a throne of grace.
