LyicsCOME, let us join in songs of praise
To our ascended Priest:
He enter'd heav'n with all our names
Engraven on his breast.
Below he wash'd our guilt away
By his atoning blood;
And now he sits upon the throne,
And pleads our cause with God.
What though while here we oft must feel
Temptation's keenest dart,
Our tender High Priest feels it too,
And will appease the smart.
Cloth'd with our nature still, he knows
The weakness of our frame,
And how to shield us from the foes
Which he himself o'ercame.
Nor time nor distance e'er shall quench
The fervors of his love;
For us he dy'd in kindness here,
Nor is less kind above.
O may we ne'er forget his grace,
Nor blush to wear his name!
Still may our hearts hold fast his faith,
Our mouths his praise proclaim!
