Verse 1
Thro’ Jesus our divine high-priest,
Who pleads the sinner’s cause in heaven,
Father, presenting our request,
We humbly sue to be forgiven;
Mercy we ask in Jesu’s name,
Who died for all our sins t’ atone,
Who rose our purchas’d peace to claim,
And now appears before thy throne.

Verse 2
There, at thy throne of grace we meet
United to th’ incarnate God,
Boldly approach the mercy-seat,
Which Jesus sprinkled with his blood:
He paid the price on Calvary
For every sinful child of man,
And trusting in his death for me,
My pardon seal’d I now obtain.
