Verse 1: Years I spent in sorrow 'round the cross, Still repenting over sins and dross. Then at last the river I did cross, To touch the throne. Verse 2: In my Christian life I'd daily fall, So I answered every altar-call, Till I left the altar, left it all, To touch the throne. Verse 3: Brothers, to the Holiest forward come; Leave your sins behind, the race now run. Hallelujah! All the work is done— The veil is gone! Verse 4: Now within the veil, enjoying God, Manna, law of life, and budding rod; Christ Himself, the ark, is our abode— Hallelujah!
