The veil is rent and opened is

lyricist: Witness Lee
Composer: John Bacchus Dykes

The veil is rent and opened is

A new and living way;

With boldness thru the precious blood

We come to Thee to pray.

By Thy redemption we may come

Into the holiest place;

Thy Spirit now anointing us

We touch the throne of grace.

In spirit only we would pray

Ourselves by Thee possessed

That from our spirit Christ the Lord

As incense be expressed.

Thy grace and mercy as a stream

From out the throne does flow

Refreshing in the hour of need—

How rich

how sweet to know!

Though for our needs we do not ask

But by Thy Spirit pray

Our every need is known to Thee

We’re in Thy care alway.

Though griefs and trials on us press

We will not anxious be

But all our care upon Thee cast

And set our spirit free.

O may I concentrated be

In fellowship with Thee

My prayer and incense offering

Thy Spirit leading me.
