Come, let us lift our joyful eyes
Come, let us lift our joyful eyes
Up to the courts above,
And smile to see our Father there
Upon a throne of
love.
Once ’twas a seat of dreadful wrath,
And shot devouring flame;
Our God appeared “consuming fire,”
And Vengeance was
His Name.
Rich were the drops of Jesus’ blood
That calmed His frowning face,
That sprinkled o’er the burning throne,
And
turned the wrath to grace.
Now we may bow before His feet,
And venture near the Lord;
No fiery cherub guards His seat,
Nor
double-flaming sword.
The peaceful gates of heav’nly bliss
Are opened by the Son;
High let us raise our notes of praise,
And reach th’almighty throne.
To Thee ten thousand thanks we bring,
Great Advocate on high;
And glory to th’eternal King,
That lays His fury by.
