1

Erected high in heaven standsThe tabernacle true;And Jesus there in mercy pleadsFor all the faithful few.

2

His blood he offers freely nowFor all who will receive,For all who to his truth will bow,And in his word believe.

3

The Jewish priesthood shadowed forthHis ministration there,The cleansing of the inner court,His coming to prepare.

4

His work performed, he leaves the seatOf mercy, where is foundThe law of God, the ten commands,And comes with glory crowned.

5

He that is holy then shall beIn holiness preserved,While sinners vainly strive to fleeThe wrath they've long deserved.
