114. The Holiest We Enter

7,6.
by M. Bowley
1
The holiest we enter
 
In perfect peace with God,
 
Through whom we found our center,
 
In Jesus and His blood:
 
Though great may be our dullness
 
In thought, and word, and deed,
 
We glory in the fullness
 
Of Him that meets our need.
“Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus.” (Hebrews 10:19)
2
Much incense is ascending
 
Before th’ eternal throne;
 
God graciously is bending
 
To hear each feeble groan;
 
To all our prayers and praises
 
Christ adds His sweet perfume,
 
And love the censer raises,
 
These odors to consume.
3
O God, we come with singing,
 
Because Thy great High Priest
 
Our names to Thee is bringing,
 
Nor e’er forgets the least;
 
For us He wears the mitre,
 
Where "holiness" shines bright,
 
For us His robes are whiter
 
Than heaven’s unsullied light.
