High Priest

Author: Cennick Appears in 29 hymnals First Line: A good High-Priest is come Lyrics: 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. 2 My Lord a Priest is made, As sware the mighty God, To Israel and his seed, Ordain'd to offer blood, For sinners who his mercy seek, A Priest as was Melchizedek. 3 He once temptations knew, Of every sort and kind, That he might succour shew, To every tempted mind: In every point the Lamb was try'd Like us, and then for us he dy'd. 4 He dies, but lives again, And by the altar stands; There shews how he was slain, Op'ning his pierced hands. Our Priest abides and pleads the cause Of us who have transgress'd his laws. 5 I other Priests disclaim, And laws and offerings too; None but the bleeding Lamb The mighty work can do: He shall have all the praise, for he Hath lov'd, and liv'd, and dy'd for me.

The wonderous things foretold Of thee in sacred writ With joy our eyes behold: Still does thine arm new trophies wear, And monuments of glory rear. 2 To thee the hoary head Its silver honours pays; To thee the blooming youth Devotes his brightest days: And every age their tribute bring, And bow to thee all-conquering King. 3 O haste, victorious prince, That happy glorious day, When souls, like drops of dew, Shall own thy gentle sway: Oh may it bless our longing eyes, And bear our shouts beyond the skies. 4 All hail, triumphant Lord, Eternal be thy reign; Behold the nations sue To wear thy gentle chain: When earth and time are known no more; Thy throne shall stand forever sure.

Profession of Love to CHRIST

Author: Stennett Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 31 hymnals First Line: And have I Christ no love to thee Lyrics: 1 And have I, Christ, no love to thee, No passion for thy charms? No wish my Saviour's face to see, And dwell within his arms? 2 Is there no spark of gratitude In this cold heart of mine, To him whose generous bosom glow'd With friendship all divine? 3 Can I pronounce his charming name, His acts of kindness tell; And, while I dwell upon the theme, No sweet emotion feel? 4 Such base ingratitude as this What heart but must detest! Sure Christ deserves the noblest place In every human breast. 5 A very wretch, Lord, I should prove, Had I no love to thee: Rather than not my Saviour love, O may I cease to be!

Christ our Example

Such let our conversation be: The serpent blended with the dove, Wisdom and meek simplicity. 2 Whene'er the angry passions rise, And tempt our thoughts or tongues to strife, To Jesus let us lift our eyes, Bright pattern of the Christian life! 3 O how benevolent and kind! How mild! how ready to forgive! Be this the temper of our mind, And these the rules by which we live. 4 To do his heavenly Father's will, Was his employment and delight; Humility and holy zeal Shone thro' his life, divinely bright! 5 Dispensing good where'er he came, The labours of his life were love; O, if we love the Savior's name, Let his divine example move. 6 Thy fair example may we trace, To teach us what we ought to be; Make us by thy transforming grace, Dear Saviour, daily more like thee.

And draw from heaven that sweet repose Which none, but he that feels it knows! 4 This heavenly calm, within the breast, Is the dear pledge of glorious rest, Which for the church of God remains, The end of cares, the end of pains. 5 With joy, great God, thy works we view, In various scenes both old and new; With praise, we think on mercies past, With hope, we future pleasures taste. 6 In holy duties let the day, In holy pleasures pass away: How sweet, a Sabbath thus to spend, In hope of one that ne'er shall end!
