Christ our High Priest and King, and Christ coming to judgment

Verse 1

Now to the Lord, who makes us know The wonders of his dying love, Be humble honors paid below, And strains of nobler praise above.

Verse 2

'Twas he who cleansed our foulest sins, And washed us in his precious blood; 'Tis he who makes us priest and kings, And brings us rebels near to God.

Verse 3

To Jesus, our atoning Priest, To Jesus, our eternal King, Be everlasting power confessed! Let every tongue his glory sing.

Verse 4

Behold! on flying clouds he comes, And every eye shall see him move; Though with our sins we pierced him once, He now displays his pardoning love.

Verse 5

The unbelieving world shall wail, While we rejoice to see the day; Come, Lord! nor let thy promise fail, Nor let thy chariot long delay.
