What was Jesus Christ but love incarnate? Love born of a virgin. Love hanging upon a cross laid in a grave. Love made sin. Love made a curse for us. Thomas Menton. Let us praise and join the chorus of the saints enthroned on high. Here they trusted him before us. Now their praises fill the sky. He has washed us with his blood. He has brought us nigh to God. Yes. We praise Thee glorious Savior. Wonder, love, and bless Thy name. Pardon Lord, our poor endeavor. Pity for Thou knowest our frame. He has washed us with his blood. He has brought us nigh to God. John Newton.

When iniquities prevail against me, You atone for our transgressions. Blessed is the one You choose and bring near to dwell in Your courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, the holiness of Your temple. Psalm 65:34.
