THE THRONE OF GRACE

Hebrews 4: 14-16

 

 

Father, in Thy presence bending,

Now we prove Thy grace transcending;

All our needs to Thee are known,

Boldly we approach Thy throne.

 

To our supplications hearken!

Though the clouds around us darken,

All our care on Thee we cast –

Thou wilt guide from first to last.

 

Calm the restless billows’ raging,

By Thy power their wrath assuaging!

Though the mighty breakers roll,

Thou art ever in control.

 

Thus we pray, our strength renewing:

Grant us peace, our wills subduing!

May our souls in Christ abide,

Trusting Him as Friend and Guide.

 

Thus serene and daily fresher,

Undisturbed by strife or pressure,

On Thy power and wisdom stayed,

We will journey unafraid!
