The
King of glory has ascended
And
stands now in the holy place To justify those He defended
Upon the cross to grant them grace!
His
heart, His soul, and hands are pure,
And
no deceit is in Him found. Yet He was willing to endure
The cross to make His grace abound.
Behold
the blessing He received
With
righteousness procured us Which we obtain who have believed:
Is not His kindness marvelous?
Not
one of us were qualified
To
come before the Lord and stand. Because the King of glory died,
He met for us the Law’s demand!
There’s
no one else so kind as God
Who
pardons sin at His expense! The awful judgment of His rod
Was borne by Christ in our defense!
Removing
our iniquity
As
far as east is from the west, He casts our sins into the sea,
And by His mercy we are blest!
Now
for this purpose we are sent
To
show the kindness of our King, To bid the sinner to repent
Beneath the shelter of His wing.
Lord,
send us now to open eyes
As
those in darkness turn to light, To know the truth that makes one wise,
And turn from Satan by Your might.
Lord,
send us forth to show Your kindness
That
souls may find Your great salvation, As You give sight to those with blindness
Who thereby flee from condemnation.
O
keep our vision undiminished
Of
what it cost You, Lord, to win The battle on the cross You finished
To justly pardon us from sin!
