Godly Incitement
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Since we have the confidence,
To enter a holy place;
Christ’s blood for my admittance,
That He has shed of His grace.
With the new and living way,
He consecrated for us;
Through the curtain to convey,
To say through His flesh as thus.
Since we have a great high priest,
Living over the House of God;
Who’s preparing us a feast,
To purge us where we are flawed.
Let’s draw near with a true heart,
Of faith with full assurance;
Pure as temptations depart,
Resistant for endurance.
Heart sprinkled clean from evil,
Pure water cleanses the skin;
Halt the might of the devil,
That invites a world of sin.
Let us hold fast confession,
Without wavering for hope;
Stop the path of transgression,
Defiant as urged to cope.
Because the faithful a promise,
If you stir others to love;
And bless you in His justice,
To the good works done thereof.
Fail not to meet together,
But encourage each other;
Daily habit to gather,
Exhorting one another.
