The Ground and Foundation of Prayer. Heb. 7. 25

1 Wherewith shall we approach the Lord,
  And bow before his throne?
  By trusting in his faithful word,
  And pleading Christ alone.

2 The blood, the righteousness, and love
  Of Jesus, will we plead;
  He lives within the vail above,
  For us to intercede.

3 Sure ground, and sure foundation too,
  We find in Jesus’ name;
  Herein we every blessing view,
  And every favour claim.

4 Then let his name for ever be
  To us supremely dear;
  Our only, all-prevailing plea,
  For all our hope is there.

5 This is the name the Father loves
  To hear his children plead;
  And all such pleading he approves,
  And blesses them indeed.
