#138THE SANCTUARY
Hymn Display
1
THERE is a house in heaven built,
The temple of the living God,
The tabernacle true, where guilt
Is washed away by precious blood.
2
Long since, our High Priest entered there,
Who knows the frailties of our frame;
Who loves to hear his people's prayer,
And offer to our God the same.
3
The daily ministry by bore,
Till ended the prophetic days;
He opened then the inner door,
To justify the sacred place.
4
Before the Ark of Ten Commands,
On which the Mercy-seat is placed,
Presenting his own blood, he stands,
Till Israel's sins are all erased.
5
This work performed; the firm decree
Will pass on all the sons of men,
He that is filthy, let him be,
He that is holy so remain.
6
To Christ let living faith ascend,
Keep God's Commandments, patient wait,
Till we shall see our Dearest Friend,
And pass, with him, the pearly gate.
