Praise God for tidings glad— We're at the throne of grace; Our gospel's not so low, We're in the highest place. We're meeting here around the throne, Enjoying God with all His own. |

Start in the outer court, But aim to get inside; The Holy Place is good, But do not there abide. Leave sin behind—it's put away; We're in the veil with God to stay. |

To rise from earth to heav'n, A deeper turn we need; To be where Christ is now Upon the throne indeed. We're gathered at the throne of grace, Beholding Jesus face to face. |

We're being turned as one, Not individually; Not private Christians now, But Body Christians we. As members here in one accord, We are the Body of the Lord. |

|
As Body Christians now We have a higher word. Foundation's word we see, 'Tis altar, cross, and blood. Perfection's word is little known, 'Tis fellowship around the throne. |

Christ is objective too, But subjective are we In our experience; Our spirit is the key. God, throne, and holiest—we see Our spirit now contains all three. |

Leviticus is past, And Aaron's work is o'er; Melchisedec is here, High Priest forevermore; His ministry is now so fine: He comes to feed us bread and wine. |
(Repeat the last line of each stanza) |
