1. At the Father’s throne above
Jesus pleads for me,
Pleads in pity, pleads in love,
Pleads unceasingly;
He that suffered in my stead,
Now is risen from the dead,
Ever lives to intercede,
Jesus pleads for me.
2. When the Evil One allures,
Jesus pleads for me,
This my victory assures,
Jesus pleads for me;
He was tempted, in His day,
Like as I in ev’ry way,
Who like He for me can pray?
Jesus pleads for me.
3. In the hour of my distress,
Jesus pleads for me,
In my want and helplessness,
Jesus pleads for me;
Keener pain than mine He knew,
He was sad and lonely, too,
Friend and Advocate so true,
Jesus pleads for me.
4. This my rock, my sure defense,
Jesus pleads for me,
This my ground of confidence,
Jesus pleads for me;
Holy hands that wrought but good,
Stained with sacrificial blood,
Lifted, now, in pray’r to God,
Jesus pleads for me.
