High Priest

Verse 1

A good High Priest is come, supplying Aaron's place, and taking up his room, dispensing life and grace; the law by Aaron's priesthood came, but grace and truth by Jesus' name.

Verse 2

He once temptations knew of every sort and kind, that He might succor show to every tempted mind; in every point the Lamb was tried like us, and then for us He died.

Verse 3

He died, but lives again, and by the throne He stands, there shows how He was slain, op'ning His piercéd hands; our Priest abides and pleads the cause of us who have transgressed His laws.

Verse 4

I other priests disclaim, and laws and off'rings too; none but the bleeding Lamb the mighty work can do; He shall have all the praise: for He has loved, and died, and lives for me.
