Since to the Holiest

Verse 1

Since to the Holiest none may enter in
Save those whom Jesus' blood has cleansed from sin —
The blood is life, and must for sin atone;
Christ is my life, my life in Christ alone.

Verse 2

So when life's sun is sinking in the west,
I know that with the coming dawn comes rest;
And when the shadows show the close of day,
He who has conquered death shall light my way.

Verse 3

And as I've learned on earth the rest He gives,
And here to live with Him who ever lives,
I know where He is, at my God's right hand,
Must be my country and my Fatherland.

Verse 4

Thus may I prove in Christ my risen Lord
All that He's promised in His written word —
My life, my way, my home, my rest above,
When sleep of death shall wake to endless love.
