"And the vail of the temple was rent in twain."—Scripture.
Come, with your guilt and sin oppressed,
In Christ there's pardon, peace and rest;
Come, humbly bow before his feet,
No vail conceals the mercy seat.
Come, boldly to a throne of grace,
The vilest here may find a place,—
For that dark vail was rent in twain,
When Christ, the heavenly lamb, was slain.
Come, rear no altar, slay no beast,
