Priesthood of Christ

Verse 1

Entered the holy place above, covered with meritorious scars, the tokens of his dying love our great high-priest in glory bears, he pleads his passion on the tree, he shows himself to God for me.

Verse 2

Before the throne my Saviour stands, my friend and advocate appears; my name is graven on his hands, and him the Father always hears; while low at Jesus' cross I bow, he hears the blood of sprinkling now.

Verse 3

This instant now I may receive the answer of his powerful prayer; this instant now by him I live, his prevalence with God declare; and soon my spirit, in his hands, shall stand where my forerunner stands.
