THE SINNER'S PLEA.

BEFORE the throne of God above, I have a strong, a 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 power can bid me hence 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 of 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.
Behold him there, the bleeding Lamb! My perfect, spotless righteousness,— The great, unchangable 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. —Selected.
