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.
'Twas He who wash'd our guilt away
By His atoning blood;
Now He appears before the throne
And pleads our cause with God.
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.
O may we ne'er forget His grace,
Nor blush to wear His name!
Still may our hearts hold fast His faith,
Our lips His praise proclaim!
