There is a house in heaven built
1There is a house in heaven built, The temple of the living God,
The tabernacle true, more pure, Is washed away by precious blood.
2In love, one our High Priest entered there, Who knows the frailties of our frame;
Who loves to hear his people's prayer, And offer to our God the same.
3The daily ministry he bore, Till sealed the prophetic hour;
He entered then the inner door, We trust the sacred place.
4Before the ark of the command, On which the mercy-seat is placed,
Presenting his own blood he stands, Till Israel's sins are all erased.
