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)
“But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us.” (Ephesians 2:4)
“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit.” (1 Peter 3:18)

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.
“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” (Romans 8:1)
“In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” (John 14:2)
“For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.” (Colossians 3:3)
“And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.” (Colossians 1:18)
“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.” (1 Corinthians 1:30)
“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16)
“And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.” (Romans 8:17)
