APPROACH TO THE TABERNACLE (XVI)

Myrrh, with sweet myrtle and sweet cinnamon,

And cassia, finest spices, mingled, gave

A holy scent to all they came upon.

The magi's gift, the anointing, cross, and grave:

Myrrh touch each stage of Jesus' perfect way,

With sweetness too for those He came to save,

And joy of perfect grace in every day,

And fresh delight to Him He came to obey.
