Priest, High Priest

Author: Cennick Meter: Irregular 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 ev'ry sort and kind, That he might succour shew, To ev'ry tempted mind: In ev'ry point, the Lamb was tried Like us, and then for us, he died. 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 off'rings 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 di'd for me.

Deity and Humanity of Christ

Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 98 hymnals First Line: Ere the blue heav'ns were stretch'd abroad Lyrics: 1 Ere the blue heav'ns were stretch'd abroad, From everlasting was the word: With God he was, the word was God, And must divinely be ador'd. 2 By his own pow'r were all things made, By him supported all things stand; He is the whole creation's head, And angels fly at his command. 3 Ere sin was born, or Satan fell, He led the host of morning stars; Thy generation who can tell, Or count the number of thy years? 4 But lo, he leaves those heav'nly forms, The Word descends and dwells in clay, That he may converse hold with worms, Dress'd in such feeble flesh as they. 5 Mortals with joy beheld his face, Th' eternal Father's only Son; How full of truth! how full of grace! When thro' his eyes the Godhead shone! 6 Archangels leave their high abode, To learn new myst'ries here and tell The love of our descending God, The glories of Immanuel.

Fully thro' these absolv'd I am From sin and fear, from guilt and shame. 4 Thus Abraham the friend of God, Thus all the armies bought with blood, Saviour of sinners thee proclaim; Sinners, of whom the chief I am. 5 This spotless robe the same appears, When ruin'd nature sinks in years; No age can change its glorious hue, The grace of Christ is ever new. 6 O let the dead now hear thy voice, Now bid thy banish'd ones rejoice, Their beauty this, their glorious dress, Jesus the Lord our righteousness.

Elect
