74*. "Behold the Lamb" Enthroned on High

8,4,8,4,8,8,8,4.
by G.W. Frazer
1
"Behold the Lamb" enthroned on high — 
 
"He is our peace";
 
In Him we are to God brought nigh — 
 
"He is our peace."
 
He who on Calvary’s cross has bled — 
 
He who was numbered with the dead — 
 
Exalted now o’er all as Head,
 
"He is our peace."
“And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.” (Revelation 5:6)
“And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church.” (Ephesians 1:22)
2
"Complete in Him" at God’s right hand — 
 
"He is our peace";
 
Before the throne we boldly stand — 
 
"He is our peace":
 
The blood-besprinkled mercy-seat,
 
His piercèd side, His hands and feet,
 
Proclaim redemption’s work complete — 
 
"He is our peace."
3
God finds eternal rest in Him — 
 
"He is our peace";
 
That rest which was disturbed by sin — 
 
"He is our peace";
 
We too by faith on Him repose,
 
Who did the Father’s heart disclose,
 
From which this full salvation flows — 
 
"He is our peace."
4
As one with Him we rest secure — 
 
"He is our peace."
 
Unchanging doth His work endure — 
 
"He is our peace";
 
Now seated on the Father’s throne,
 
Elect and precious Cornerstone,
 
On Him we rest — on Him alone — 
 
"He is our peace."
“Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.” (1 Peter 2:6)
“Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.” (Psalm 37:7)
