Before the Throne of God Above

The piano accompaniment for this piece begins tender and soft, and as the instruments and voices build, the accompaniment and style will follow. Piano will carry all three stanzas, and instruments will play the first two stanzas repeated, the key change, and the third and final stanza as the last. The depth of theology in this hymn, emphasizing the priesthood of every believer, cannot be mistaken. This is another hymn that your congregation simply cannot do without, not only for your older generation to affirm the truths, but for the younger generation to begin their depth of understanding of prayer.
