Pondering His Presence

Tune: Luckington

(\'Let all the world in every corner sing\')

**********

Redemption\'s dawn, salvation\'s happy morn

The curtain torn

In Temple, holy place

God shielded from our face

For there He did reside

[In] Holy of Holies bide

But now open, access to God, come free

Through Christ come we [in]

 

For He the way has opened for us now

And this be how

His life upon the cross

He gave to redeem loss

That sins forgiven be

Cleansed, washed, eternally

Our only hope, come to God through His Son

The holy one

 

How can I stand before the Lord God, He

Perfect e\'er be

Without a trace of night

His being full of light

His nature love and grace

And His mercies we trace

But Christ His Son, our judgement He did take

Does us saints make

 

No fine elite, but we who sanctified

in Christ confide

Depend on Him alway

Our rock, our strength, our stay

Eternal life He gave

To us, came to us save

And so redeemed, we join His family

He our Lord be
