Jesus, On His Glorious Throne

John Newton • English

Primary Scripture: Galatians 6:17

Verse 1

Jesus, who on his glorious throne Rules heaven, and earth, and sea, Is pleased to claim me for his own, And give himself to me.

Verse 2

His person fixes all my love, His blood removes my fear; And while he pleads for me above, His arm preserves me here.

Verse 3

His word of promise is my food, His Spirit is my guide; Thus daily is my strength renewed, And all my wants supplied.

Verse 4

For him I count as gain each loss, Disgrace for him renown; Well may I glory in my cross, While he prepares my crown.
