JESUS PLEADS FOR ME.

By Frank Hope

BY FRANK HOPE.
Come, let me for a moment pause, And try by faith to see Into the holy place above, Where Jesus pleads for me.
Ah! there before the throne of God, Upon the crystal sea, Before the mighty cherubim, There Jesus pleads for me.
How piteously he lifts his hands, All broken by the tree! How meekly now he bends his head, And softly pleads for me!
How often when in sin I sink, And struggle to be free, With tender love, within the vail, Still Jesus pleads for me.
His tender love with love I'll pay, And to him bend the knee, And tell to all in Mercy's name, How Jesus pleads for me.
