Come, let us join our songs of praise To our ascended Priest

Verse 1

Come, let us join our songs of praise To our ascended Priest; He entered heaven with all our names Engraven on his breast.

Verse 2

He died to wash our guilt away, By his atoning blood, Which now he pleads before the throne, And brings us near to God.

Verse 3

Clothed with our nature still, he knows The weakness of our frame, And how to shield us from the foes Which he himself o'ercame.

Verse 4

Nor time, nor distance, e'er shall quench The fervor of his love; For us he died in kindness here, For us he lives above.

Verse 5

O, may we ne'er forget his grace, Nor blush to speak his name! Still may our hearts hold fast his faith, Our lips his praise proclaim.
