Erected high in heaven stands
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.
