Behold The Throne
Words by John Newton, 1749, alt. Davide Marney, 2009

--- verse 1 ---

Behold the throne, the throne of grace,
The promise calls, and brings us near.
There Jesus shows a smiling face
And waits to hear and answer prayer.

My soul, ask what you will,
You cannot be too bold;
Since His own blood He shed,
What else can He withhold?
(repeat)

Behold the throne, the throne of grace,
Behold the throne.

--- verse 2 ---

Thine image, Lord, bestow on me,
Thy presence, Lord, and all Thy love;
I ask to serve Thee here below,
And reign with Thee in heav'n above.

Teach me to live by faith,
Conform my will to Thine;
Give vic'try over death, 
And then in glory shine.
(repeat)

And there behold the throne of grace,
Behold the throne.

--- verse 3 ---

Beyond our thoughts, our utmost needs,
His love and pow'r alone can bless;
To praying souls He always grants
More than they know, or can express.

His rich, atoning blood,
Which sprinkled round we see,
Provides for those who come
An all prevailing plea.

It is the Lord's command,
Forever to provide,
Lord open up Your hand,
That I may be supplied.

Let me behold the throne of grace,
Behold the throne.
