Joyfully Justified

"Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.... Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His name" (Psalm 100:1,4).

Let the people in all lands
Come with joy before the Lord.
Let each one who understands:
Come with thankfulness outpoured.

Enter through His gates with praise;
Meditate on all you see:
The tabernacle thus portrays
My Savior Who was slain for me.

But tabernacle sacrifice
Could never take my place;
Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
Alone could save by grace.

Be thankful therefore that He came
(His love could do no less),
To take away our guilt and shame,
And give us righteousness.

The tabernacle now is gone,
But Jesus Christ is not.
Our Savior's love goes on and on;
Oh what a happy thought!
