Section 1-The Sanctuary

The Heavenly Sanctuary

There is a house in heaven built,
The temple of the living God,
The tabernacle true, where guilt
Is washed away by precious blood.
CIS 14.1

Long since, our High Priest entered there,
Who knows the frailties of our frame,
Who loves, to hear his people’s prayer,
And offer to our God the same.
CIS 14.2

The daily ministry he bore,
Till ended the prophetic days;
He opened then the inner door,
To justify the sacred place.
CIS 14.3

Before the ark of ten commands,
On which the mercy-seat is placed,
Presenting his own blood, he stands,
Till Israel’s sins are all erased.
-R. F. Cottrell.
