“Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” | Hebrews 4:16

Lyrics by Daniel Herbert, 1838.
Music by Clint Wells and Brian T. Murphy, 2004

Come boldly to the throne of grace,

Ye wretched sinners come;

And lay your load at Jesus’ feet,

And plead what He has done.

“How can I come?” Some soul may say,

“I’m lame and cannot walk;

My guilt and sin have stopped my mouth;

I sigh, but dare not talk.”

Come boldly to the throne of grace,

Though lost, and blind, and lame;

Jehovah is the sinner’s Friend,

And ever was the same.

He makes the dead to hear His voice;

He makes the blind to see;

The sinner lost He came to save,

And set the prisoner free.

[Interlude]

Come boldly to the throne of grace,

For Jesus fills the throne;

And those He kills He makes alive;

He hears the sigh or groan.

Poor bankrupt souls, who feel and know

The hell of sin within,

Come boldly to the throne of grace;

The Lord will take you in.

Our friend Jared Jensen (worship leader at Lake Grove Presbyterian Church, Portland, Oregon) leading worship.
