Lord, we've heard the call, "Come forward,"
|
|
| 1. | Lord, we've heard the call, "Come forward," |
| | Unto the most Holy Place, |
| | To behold shekinah glory |
| | Shining from Your blessed face. |
| | Come forward to the Holiest, |
| | Through the incense altar's prayer; |
| | No more veil of separation, |
| | We may boldly enter there. |
| 2. | We come forward by a new way, |
| | Freshly cut and freshly slain, |
| | To the Holiest of Holies; |
| | Glorious access we obtain. |
| 3. | We come forward unto our God, |
| | Who is sitting on the throne; |
| | He has paved the way to glory |
| | By His blood and cross alone. |
| 4. | We come forward to the new age, |
| | With assured heart, true and bold. |
| | To enjoy th' eternal purpose, |
| | Ne're to shrink back to the old. |
| 5. | Praise You, Lord, we've all come forward. |
| | Now within the Holiest, |
| | You're our God, and we're Your people; |
| | Here we dwell forever blest. |
