There is a throne of wondrous grace,
Sprinkled with Jesus’ blood;
‘Tis there alone that faith beholds,
A sin-forgiving God.
To him I’ll send my fervent prayers,
Believing he will hear;
Will spread my guilt before his face,
And leave my burdens there.
None ask aright who ask in vain,
God does his word fulfil;
Then go to him, my troubled soul,
And wait his sovereign will.
Remind him what the Saviour did,
What he himself has said;
Approach him then with humble trust,
And be not thou afraid.
Not only seek, but patient wait,
Until an answer’s given;
The secret sighs, on earth unknown,
Are treasured up in heaven.
---Alternative verses---
None ask in vain who ask aright,
God does his word fulfil;
Then go to him, my troubled soul,
And wait his sovereign will.
