Matthew 27:51: The veil of the temple was rent in twain
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Rent by Thy expiring groan
The temple's veil I see,
Rent the flesh Thou didst put on,
Eternal God, for me:
Viewing now the heavens thrown wide,
I to my Father's house repair,
Boldly enter through Thy side,
And claim a mansion there.
