Through Thy precious body broken-
|
|
| 1. | Through Thy precious body broken- |
| | Inside the veil; |
| | Oh! what words to sinners spoken- |
| | Inside the veil. |
| | Precious as the blood that brought us; |
| | Perfect, as the love that sought us; |
| | Holy, as the Lamb that brought us- |
| | Inside the veil. |
| 2. | When we see Thy love unshaken- |
| | Outside the camp. |
| | Scorned by man, by God forsaken- |
| | Outside the camp. |
| | Thy loved cross alone can charm us; |
| | Shame need now no more alarm us; |
| | Glad we follow, nought can harm us- |
| | Outside the camp. |
| 3. | Lamb of God, through Thee we enter- |
| | Inside the veil. |
| | Cleansed by Thee, we boldly venture- |
| | Inside the veil. |
| | Not a stain; a new creation: |
| | Ours is such a full salvation; |
| | Low we bow in adoration- |
| | Inside the veil. |
| 4. | Unto Thee, the homeless stranger- |
| | Outside the camp, |
| | Forth we hasten, fear no danger- |
| | Outside the camp, |
| | Thy reproach, far richer treasure |
| | Than all Egypt's boasted pleasure; |
| | Drawn by love that know no measure- |
| | Outside the camp, |
| 5. | Soon Thy saints shall all be gathered- |
| | Inside the veil |
| | All with Thee-no more be scattered- |
| | Inside the veil |
| | Nought from Thee, our hearts shall sever; |
| | We shall see Thee; grieve Thee never; |
| | "Praise the Lamb!" shall sound forever- |
| | Inside the veil |
