LyicsNOW let our cheerful eyes survey
Our great High Priest above,
And celebrate His constant care
And sympathetic love.
Though rais'd to heav'n's exalted throne,
Where angels bow around,
And high o'er all the hosts of light,
With matchless honors crown'd--
The name of all His saints He bears
Deep graven on His heart;
Nor shall the weakest Christian say
That he has lost his part.
Those characters shall fair abide,
Our everlasting trust,
When gems, and monuments, and crowns
Have moulder'd down to dust.
