The Throne of Grace. Heb. 4. 16; John 14. 13, 14

1 Behold the throne of grace!
  The promise calls me near;
  There Jesus shows his smiling face;
  And waits to answer prayer.

2 That rich atoning blood
  Which, sprinkled round, I see,
  Provides for those who come to God
  An all-prevailing plea.

3 My soul, ask what thou wilt,
  Thou canst not be too bold;
  Since his own blood for thee he spilt,
  What else can he withhold?

4 Beyond thy utmost wants
  His love and power can bless.
  To praying souls he always grants
  More than they can express.
