Not to the burning altar come,
With sacrifice of blood:
But to the cross of Calvary,
Our Saviour came in love.
Not to the laver, made of bronze,
To wash our selves from sin,
But at the cross this was fulfilled.
Come now, and enter in.
Not to the lamp to ignite the flame,
Nor burn the incense there,
For now we have God's holy Light:
The incense is our prayer.
Not to the table with twelve loaves,
Nor to the Mercy Seat,
For Jesus is the Bread of Life,
God's mercy is complete!
Not with the robes of glorious hue,
Nor Pomegranates at our feet,
For Jesus Christ, our Sacrifice,
Is now our Great High Priest
No Tabernacle, nor temple now,
Just Jesus Christ alone.
The Holy of Holies: God's Spirit
Makes us His blessed home
