1 Victim Divine, thy grace we claim | |||
while thus thy precious death we show: | |||
once offered up, a spotless Lamb, | |||
in thy great temple here below, | |||
thou didst for all our kind atone, | |||
and standest now before the throne. | |||
2 Thou standest in the holiest place, | |||
as now for guilty sinners slain; | |||
thy blood of sprinkling speaks, and prays, | |||
all prevalent for helpless ones; | |||
thy blood is still our ransom found, | |||
and speaks salvation all around. | |||

3 The smoke of thy atonement here | |||
darkened the sun and rent the veil, | |||
made the new way to heaven appear, | |||
and showed the great Invisible; | |||
well pleased in thee our God looked down, | |||
and called his rebels to a crown. | |||
4 He still respects thy sacrifice, | |||
its savour sweet doth always please; | |||
the offering smokes through earth and skies, | |||
diffusing life, and joy, and peace; | |||
to these thy lower courts it comes, | |||
and fills them with divine perfumes. | |||
{{mdl|3}} | |||
5 We need not go up to heaven, | |||
to bring the long-sought Saviour down; | |||
Thou art to all already given, | |||
Thou dost e’en now thy banquet crown: | |||
To every faithful soul appear, | |||
and show thy real presence here! | |||
