Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.CVIII (1766) Hymnal Title: The Psalms of David Lyrics: 1 Come, let us lift our joyful Eyes
Up to the Court above,
And smile to see our Father there
Upon a Throne of Love.
2 Once 'twas a Seat of dreadful Wrath,
And shot devouring Flame
Our God appear'd Consuming Fire,
And Vengeance was his Name.
3 Rich were the Drops of Jesus' Blood
That calm'd his frowning Face,
That sprinkled o'er the burning Throne,
And turn'd the Wrath to Grace.
4 Now we may bow before his feet,
And venture near the Lord;
No fiery Cherub guards his Seat,
Nor double-flaming Sword.
5 The peaceful Gates of heav'nly Bliss
Are open'd by the Son;
High let us raise our Notes of Praise,
And reach th' Almighty Throne.
6 To Thee Ten Thousand Thanks we bring,
Great Advocate on high;
And Glory to th' eternal King,
That lays his Fury by. Topics: Heaven and Earth; Access to the Throne of Grace by a Mediator Languages: English
