Enter’d the holy place above

Verse 1
Entred the holy place above, (Heb. 9:12, Heb. 9:24)
Cover’d with meritorious scars, (Isa. 53:5, John 20:27, Zech. 13:6)
The tokens of his dying love
Our great high-priest in glory bears, (Heb. 4:14, Heb. 8:1)
He pleads his passion on the tree, (Heb. 7:25, Rom. 8:34)
He shews himself to God for me. (Heb. 9:24)

Verse 2
Before the throne my Saviour stands, (Ac. 7:56)
My friend and Advocate appears; (I John 2:1, Rom. 8:34)
My name is graven on his hands, (Isa. 49:16)
And him the Father always hears; (John 11:42)
While low at Jesu’s cross I bow,
He hears the blood of sprinkling now! (Heb. 12:24, Heb. 9:13-14, I Pet. 1:2)

Verse 3
This instant now I may receive
The answer of his powerful prayer: (John 17:9, John 17:20)
This instant now by him I live, (Gal. 2:20, Acts 17:28, John 11:25, John 14:19)
His prevalence with God declare:
And soon my spirit in his hands (Ps. 31:45, Luke 23:46)
Shall stand, where my forerunner stands! (Heb. 6:20)
