136. The Veil Is Rent--Our Souls Draw Near

C.M.
by J.G. Deck
1
The veil is rent — our souls draw near
 
Unto a throne of grace;
 
The merits of the Lord appear,
 
They fill the holy place.
2
His precious blood has spoken there,
 
Before and on the throne:
 
And His own wounds in heaven declare,
 
The atoning work is done.
3
’Tis finished — here our souls have rest,
 
His work can never fail:
 
By Him, our Sacrifice and Priest,
 
We pass within the veil.
“But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building. Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.” (Hebrews 9:11-12)
4
Within the holiest of all,
 
Cleansed by His precious blood,
 
Before the throne we prostrate fall,
 
And worship Thee, O God!
“And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all.” (Hebrews 9:3)
“Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh. How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” (Hebrews 9:12-14)
5
Boldly the heart and voice we raise,
 
His blood, His name, our plea;
 
Assured our prayers and songs of praise
 
Ascend, by Christ, to Thee.
