Wherewith shall we approach the Lord,

Wherewith shall we approach the Lord,
And bow before his throne?
By trusting in his faithful word,
And pleading Christ alone.

The blood, the righteousness, and love
Of Jesus, will we plead;
He lives within the vail above,
For us to intercede.

Sure ground, and sure foundation too,
We find in Jesus' name;
Herein we every blessing view,
And every favour claim.

Then let his name for ever be
To us supremely dear;
Our only, all-prevailing plea,
For all our hope is there.

This is the name the Father loves
To hear his children plead;
And all such pleading he approves,
And blesses them indeed.
