1 A expiação se fez, a vítima morreu,
E Cristo de uma vez passou pra além do véu,
E agora faz intercessão,
Pontífice maior que Arão.

2 Erguido a mãos não foi o templo onde Ele está;
Jamais de bode ou boi se esparge o sangue lá.
Por sangue próprio ali entrou,
Que por nós outros derramou.

3 Fazendo ali valer o que Ele fez na cruz,
Consegue assim manter em comunhão, na luz
E puros do pecado, os Seus,
No santuário do Seu Deus.

4 Oculto agora está da natural visão,
Porém Se mostrará aos que de coração
O esperam; pois que vem aqui
Buscar Seus santos para Si.
