What voice is this I hear, A kind salute of grace Which whispers in my ear The grateful words of peace? Hail, blessed Lord, 'tis thy sweet voice Which bids me in thy blood rejoice. Thou art my chief delight, A lovely friend indeed; Most precious in my sight, My help in every need. Hereby I'm strengthened in the way, And thank Thee for this gospel day. Unworthy as I am, And base in my own eyes; On my account the Lamb Ascends the upper skies; Assumes at God's right hand a seat And lets me sit beneath his feet. My great high-priest is gone Into the holy place; The curtain is withdrawn, Which veiled his lovely face. The passage is now clear and free; The veil is rent for wretched me.
