Love on a cross and a throne

Author: Dr. Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 23 hymnals Topics: Love of Christ On a cross and throne First Line: Now let our faith grow strong, and rise Lyrics: 1 Now let our faith grow strong, and rise, And view our Lord in all his love; Look back to hear his dying cries, Then mount and see his throne above. 2 See where he languish'd on the cross; Beneath our sins he groan'd and dy'd; See where he sits to plead our cause By his Almighty Father's side. 3 If we behold his bleeding heart, There love in floods of sorrow reigns; He triumphs o'er the killing smart, And seals our pleasure with his pains. 4 Or if we climb th' eternal hills Where the dear Conqueror sits enthron'd; Still in his heart compassion dwells, Near the memorials of his wound. 5 How shall vile pardon'd rebels show How much they love their dying God Lord, here we'd banish every foe, We hat the sins that cost thy blood. 6 Commerce, no more, we hold with hell, Our dearest lusts shall all depart; But let thine image ever dwell Stampt as a seal on every heart.

With salvation's walls surrounded, Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters Springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river Ever flows their thirst to assuage? Grace which, like the Lord, the giver, Never fails from age to age. 3 Saviour, if of Zion's city I, through grace, a member am, Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in Thy name. Fading is the worldling's pleasure, All his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure None but Zion's children know. Used With Tune: MIGHTY LORD, VICTORIOUS SAVIOUR!
