Who Jesus our Example knows

Verse 1
Who Jesus our Example know,
And Apostolic teachers trace,
We gladly to the temple go,
Frequent the consecrated place
At every solemn hour of prayer,
And meet the God of mercy there.

Verse 2
Still at the stated hours we pray
And openly our God adore,
The Lamb presenting every day
Our sins who on his body bore:
As incense sweet our prayers arise,
Mingled with his great sacrifice.

Verse 3
His offering pure we call to mind
There, on the golden altar laid,
Whose Godhead with the manhood join’d
For every soul atonement made,
And have whate’er we ask of God,
Thro’ faith in that all-saving Blood.
