| He shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the Lord, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the veil: and he shall put the incense upon the fire before the Lord, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not. (Lev. 16:12‑13) |
| Christ … hath given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savor. (Eph. 5:2) |
We’ll praise Thee, glorious Lord, Who died to set us free; No earthly songs can joy afford Like heavenly melody. |
Love, that on death’s dark vale Its sweetest odors spread, Where sin o’er all seemed to prevail, Redemption’s glory shed. |
