53. The Son--He Left God's Throne Above

6-8s.

The Son — He left God’s throne above
 
(So free, so infinite His grace!)
 
Emptied Himself, and then in love
 
Bled for our lost, our ruined race:
 
’Tis mercy, all beyond our thought,
 
That us to God in Jesus brought.
“And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.” (John 17:5)
“All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.” (Psalm 45:8)
“Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.” (Romans 3:24)
“In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.” (Ephesians 1:7)
“But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men.” (Philippians 2:7)

No condemnation now we dread,
 
Jesus is ours, prepared our place,
 
Our life in Him, our hidden Head,
 
Himself our righteousness through grace,
 
Bold we approach the heavenly throne,
 
Heirs of the crown He for us won.
