Day of Atonement (For Yom Kippur)

Our Great High Priest 

Left His glorious robe behind 

When God became flesh 

And dwelled with mankind 

Amid goats and calves, 

Christ entered the world, leaving heaven itself 

To take away sin and death 

By offering His own blood Himself

He bore our sin, 

And our judgement He faced

So we could be made holy 

By God's mercy and grace 

And thus enter in, 

To a new and living way 

Where God's laws, 

Are within our hearts placed 

Then we can draw near 

With sincerity of heart 

Because of the assurance 

That our faith imparts 

And hold unswervingly 

To the hope that we profess 

For God is faithful to 'make good'

On His promises
