New Compact Ministry
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
It is necessary for things,
Heavenly things be purified;
Of the copies of what it brings,
Because of what was crucified.
Better than sacrifices of these,
Christ enters not where made by hand;
But in Heaven where He will please,
For the Father who did command.
He did not offer more than once,
As the High Priest enters within;
With His blood for giving guidance,
For purging us of our sin.
Repeatedly He did not suffer,
Since the foundation of this world;
Sacrificed to be a buffer,
The plan of God is unfurled.
Christ has appeared once and for all,
To the end of ages putting away;
Sacrificed for Adam’s downfall,
And each of us going astray.
Appointed for men once to die,
Until after that Judgment Day;
Confession and faith will defy,
Our death in a righteous way.
Christ will appear a second time,
Those without sin with salvation;
Judging others for any crime,
That was caused by temptation.
