Behold the holy place,
With Aaron entering in,
To make for Israel's race
A sacrifice for sin:
In him the type of Jesus see,
Who trod the holy place for thee.
Without a victim slain,
As constant as the day,
None could remission gain,
No sins were put away:
Here, in the gospel mystery, see
How Christ should set the guilty free.
Ere on the bloody tree
The sinner's debts he paid,
Slain in the great decree,
He stood the covenant head,
Till that divine illustrious day,
When sin by him was borne away.
While he expiring hung,
The blood-bought throng on high,
In loud hosannas sung
“Redemption's now brought nigh:”
They went to heaven to rest with God,
Upon the credit of his blood.
His sacrifice to God
Hath pleased the father well;
The odours of his blood
Afford a fragrant smell:
Perfumed with this, his saints shall rise
To realms of bliss beyond the skies.
