Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and perfect plea,
A great high Priest whose Name is Love,
Who ever lives and pleads for me.
My name is graven on His hands,
My name is written on His heart.
I know that while in heaven He stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart,
No tongue can bid me thence depart.
When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within,
Upward I look and see Him there
Who made an end to all my sin.
Because the sinless Saviour died
My sinful soul is counted free,
For God, the Just, is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me,
To look on Him and pardon me.
Behold Him there, the risen Lamb,
My perfect, spotless righteousness,
The great unchangeable I AM,
The King of glory and of grace.
One with Himself, I cannot die,
My soul is purchased by His blood.
My life is hid with Christ on high,
With Christ, my Saviour and my God!
One with Himself, I cannot die,
My soul is purchased by His blood.
My life is hid with Christ on high,
With Christ, my Saviour and my God!
~Charitie L. Bancroft, 1863.

Hope you don’t mind Jessie, but I’ve added an mp3 of the song to your post. I found it on SermonIndex.net
God bless,
John.
Hi dear brother
Not at all – Thank you for putting it on. I look forward to listening to it. I love the words.
Bless you
Jessie
Hi John
I finally got time to listen to this. It is really very beautiful. Very ‘oldy worldy’ and just gentles you inside before the Lord. I also love the acapella sound.
Thank you for taking the time to find it
God Bless you
Wow what a neat song. I found it today and my 2 kiddos (4 and 3) and I have been listening and singing it all day. Looks like it’s the new family fave. I would love to know who sings it.
Hi Augusta – first off, welcome to Be a Mary – it is a joy to have you sit at the Lord’s feet with us!
I went on to Sermonindex and had no luck -there is no description there -just the download. If I find who it is I will put it back here below the Mp3 player for you -so check back occasionally to see if I have found out.
Perhaps John might know?
Sounds like your home is a wonderful place to live.
The Lord bless you all
Jessie
