Jesus, in His heav'nly temple
Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →Written by Plymouth Brethren leader Robert Cleaver Chapman (1803–1902), this hymn meditates on Christ's exaltation after his earthly humiliation — now enthroned with God, his reconciling blood filling heaven as eternal incense.
Verse 1
Jesus, in His heav'nly temple,
Sits with God upon the throne;
Now no more to be forsaken,
His humiliation gone.
Verse 2
Never more shall God, Jehovah,
Smite the Shepherd with the sword;
Ne'er again shall cruel sinners
Set at nought our glorious Lord.
Verse 3
Dwelling in eternal sunshine
Of the countenance of God,
Jesus fills all heav'n with incense
Of His reconciling blood.
Verse 4
On His heart our names are graven;
On His shoulders we are borne;
Of our God beloved in Jesus
We can love Him in return.
