7967. Christ, Our Intercessor

1 O blessèd feet of Jesus,
Weary with seeking me,
Stand at God’s bar of judgment
And intercede for me.

2 O knees which bent in anguish
In dark Gethsemane,
Kneel at the throne of glory
And intercede for me.

3 O sacred heart, such sorrow
The world may never see,
As those which gave Thee warrant
To intercede for me.

4 O body scarred and wounded
My sacrifice to be,
Present Thy perfect offering
And intercede for me.

5 O loving, risen Savior,
From death and sorrow free!
Though throned in endless glory,
Still intercede for me.
