Before the throne of God above

Author: Charitie L. De Chenez (1841-1923) Hymnal: HGSP2008 #466 (2008) Lyrics: 1 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 tongue can bid me thence depart. 2 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. 3 Behold him there! the risen Lamb! my perfect, spotless righteousness, the great unchangeable 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.

In form of servant is the Lord, and God in cradle lies. 3 This wonder all the world amazed, it shook the starry frame; the hosts of heaven stood to gaze, and bless the Saviour's name. 4 Glad shepherds ran to view this sight; a choir of angels sings, and eastern sages with delight adore this King of kings. 5 Join then, all hearts that are not stone, to sing with choirs above and celebrate this Holy One, the God of peace and love.

Behold what witnesses unseen

Hymnal: HGSP2008 #743 (2008) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Behold what witnesses unseen encompass us around, who, once like us, with suffering tried, but now with glory crowned. 2 Let us, with zeal like theirs inspired, begin the Christian race, and, freed from each encumbering weight, their holy footsteps trace. 3 Behold a witness nobler still, who trod affliction's path, Jesus, at once the finisher and author of our faith. 4 He for the joy before him set, so generous was his love, endured the cross, despised the shame, and now he reigns above. 5 Then let our hearts no more despond, our hands be weak no more; still let us trust our Father's love, his wisdom still adore.
