CENTRED

Around the holiest place where all was dark

And seen by the high priest just once a year

God had a system centred in the ark.

But now since light has shone to cast out fear

God has a system centred in one Man

Through whom His grace and love to men appear.

According to His past eternal plan

God has a system centred in His Christ

Whose worth was known before the worlds began.

Since against sin Christ’s sacrifice sufficed

God has a system centred in His Son,

Whose value before God cannot be priced.

Thus God delights that all He has begun

Centres in Him by whom the work was done.
