I draw near to Thy temple door
And cast myself upon the floor
For with the curtain Thou hast torn
A royal priesthood has been born
My incense in my hand I hold
My prayers of dust Thou turnest gold
And pleases to recieve from me
Despite my stained humanity
Thou settest me upon my feet
Before Thy covered mercy seat
And biddest me to raise my head
And seek to know Thee more, instead
No cloud of smoke surroundeth Thee
But only Holy Majesty
Which blinds the eyes of Pharisees
And lightens those who cannot see
In this sacred place and time
Thou bidst me take the bread and wine
The holy blood and body tell
Of a priest who sacrificed Himself.
