Poetry

---

Since we have the confidence,
To enter the holy place;
God gave us the providence,
The blood of Christ gives us grace.

By the new and living way,
That He inaugurated;
In giving us a new day,
What God has generated.

Since we have such a great priest,
Over the house of the Lord;
And preparing a great feast,
That can never be ignored.

Let us draw near with true heart,
In faith of full assurance;
That His Word that we do impart,
Living by His accordance.

With hearts cleansed free from evil,
Bodies washed in water so pure;
Blocks the path of the devil,
Stops entry by the locked door.

Hold fast to your confession,
With an unwavering hope;
As a faithful foundation,
So, you are able to cope.

Let us conceive how to stir,
One another how to love;
And the good works that occur,
From the blessings from above.

Never neglect to gather,
Encouraging each other;
Be sure to meet together,
For helping out your brother.

For if we go on sinning,
After knowing of the truth;
There is no way of winning,
When you are rude and uncouth,

But fearful expectation,
Judged with fury and fire;
Having His consultation,
Quenches earthly desire.

How much worse the punishment,
Do you think that one merits;
By who had admonishment,
From God that he inherits.
