Liberty to enter thro' the Veil by the Blood of CHRIST. Heb. x. 19-22
by Philip Doddridge (1773–1832)
Approach, ye Children of your GOD; Fav'rites of Heav'n, draw near; Enter the Holiest with Delight, Tho' his own Ark be there.
Pass thro' the Veil, the Saviour's Flesh, That new and living Way, And Majesty enshrin'd in Love Shall gentle Beams display.
Jesus with Sin-atoning Blood The Throne hath sprinkled o'er; His fragrant Incense spreads its Cloud, And Justice flames no more.
Approach with Boldness and with Joy, But spotless all draw near; Pure be your Lives from ev'ry Stain, And ev'ry Conscience clear.
So shall the Blessings of his Grace On all your Souls distill, Till each a royal Priest appears On his celestial Hill.
