This hymn has a unique tune.

 

 1 

Through Thy precious body broken —

      Inside the veil;

Oh! what words to sinners spoken —

      Inside the veil.

Precious as the blood that brought 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 with Thee — 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 forever —

      Inside the veil.
