How no¤ble my es¤tate– my hap¤py lot;
I have a friend in Christ who chang¤eth ¤not.
I meet Him dai¤ly at the throne of grace
To hear His voice and look up¤on His face,
In God’s im¤me¤diate pres¤ence there for me
His blood of sprink¤ling speaks con¤tin¤¤ual¤ly.

The veil has gone, God’s new and liv¤ing way
Ap¤pears be¤fore my mind, clear as the ¤day.
At His kind Word, my soul with awe draws nigh,
With heart as¤sured, I, “Ab¤ba Fa¤ther,” cry,
There face to face at God’s right hand for me,
My Sav¤iour pleads, He is my sur¤¤e¤ty.

I bow with rev¤’rence at His bless¤ed feet,
My heart is full, in Him I am com¤¤plete.
Yes, sanc¤ti¤fied and filled with love di¤vine,
Re¤demp¤tion, wis¤dom, right¤eous¤ness is mine,
His blood of sprink¤ling speak¤ing now for me
Has sealed His truth which can¤not cease ¤to be.

O heart of mine, be loy¤al true and brave,
Faith¤ful to Him who tri¤umphed o’er the ¤grave.
The sin¤gle eye will keep your vi¤sion clear,
And per¤fect love will cast a¤way all fear,
O Lamb of God, Thy sac¤ri¤fice for me
Shall be my glo¤ry ev¤er¤last¤¤ing¤ly.

With ten¤der mer¤cies crowned, I rest in peace,
The love where¤with He loved shall nev¤er ¤cease.
With love’s un¤speak¤a¤ble bond I am bound
To Him who reigns on high with glo¤ry crowned,
His rain¤bow cir¤cled throne re¤veals to me
God’s cov¤e¤nant shall last e¤ter¤¤nal¤ly.
