Through Thy precious body broken

						8.4.8.8.8.4.

1	Through Thy precious body broken
	Inside the veil;
	O what words to sinners spoken
	Inside the veil!
	Precious as the blood that bought us,
	Perfect as the love that sought us,
	Holy as the Lamb that brought us
	Inside the veil.

2	When we see Thy love unshaken
	Outside the camp;
	Scorned by man, by God forsaken,
	Outside the camp;
	Thy loved Cross alone can charm us,
	Shame need now no more alarm us,
	Glad we follow, nought can harm us
	Outside the camp.

3	Lamb of God, through Thee we enter
	Inside the veil;
	Cleansed by Thee, we boldly venture
	Inside the veil:
	Not a stain; a new creation;
	Ours is such a full salvation;
	Low we bow in adoration
	Inside the veil.

4	Unto Thee, the homeless stranger
	Outside the camp,
	Forth we hasten, fear no danger
	Outside the camp.
	Thy reproach, far richer treasure
	Than all Egypt’s boasted pleasure;
	Drawn by love that knows no measure,
	Outside the camp.

5	Soon Thy saints shall all be gathered
	Inside the veil:
	All at home, no more be scattered,
	Inside the veil.
	Nought from Thee our hearts shall sever;
	We shall see Thee, grieve Thee never;
	Praise the Lamb! shall sound for ever
	Inside the veil.
