Let us…come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 4:16
Words: Oliver Holden, in Peabody’s Springfield Collection, 1835 (originally, All Those Who Seek a Throne of Grace).
Music: Evelyn (Ashford) Emma L. Ashford, in The Methodist Hymnal (New York: Methodist Book Concern, 1905), number 515 (🔊 pdf nwc).
They who seek the throne of grace,
Find that throne in every place;
If we live a life of prayer,
God is present everywhere.
In our sickness or our health,
In our want or in our wealth,
If we look to God in prayer,
God is present everywhere.
When our earthly comforts fail,
When the foes of life prevail,
’Tis the time for earnest prayer;
God is present everywhere.
Then, my soul, in every strait
To thy Father come and wait;
He will answer every prayer;
God is present everywhere.
