326. For Every Soul in Every Need

1. For ev'ry soul in ev'ry need
He ever lives to intercede,
Presenting there within the veil
A sacrifice that cannot fail.

2. Our heav'nly great High Priest, he stands:
By pierced feet, and pierced hands,
By bleeding brow and wounded side,
He lives to plead for whom he died!

3. Whom have we, Lord, in Heav'n but thee?
Like ships safe moored on stormy sea
Our souls in peril, with thee there
Find anchorage of hope and prayer.

4. Set loose from Earth, and evermore
Fast bound to that eternal shore,
So all our life and love shall be
Ascended Master, hid with thee.
