209. Lord and Master We Will Own Him

1 Lord and Master we will own Him,
Swift to recognise His claim:
King of kings our hearts enthrone Him,
Blessed be His Holy Name!
Yet new gladness finds expression,
And the rapture is increased,
As we humbly take possession,
“We have such a Great High Priest!”

2 “Blessing”? yearning heart that criest;
Stay, the Blesser comes to you!
“Higher truth”? But this is highest,
WE are in Himself—The True.
Not attainment, not acquirement,
But His fulness fully known;
Guarantee for all requirement,
Jesus is upon the Throne.

3 By a Priesthood all unchanging
Jesus meets our changing need;
Naught form us His love estranging,
Truly we are bless’d indeed.
Lo, a covenant unbroken
Spans the distance, “Till He come”—
Of the things which we have spoken,
This, for aye, remains the sum.
