Author: Christopher M. Idle Hymnal: Glory to God #262 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: Jesus Christ Ascension and Reign Lyrics: 1 Since our great high priest, Christ Jesus,
bears the name above all names,
reigning Son of God, surpassing
other titles, powers, and claims;
since to heaven our Lord has passed,
let us hold our witness fast!
2 Since we have a priest who suffered,
knowing weakness, tears, and pain,
who, like us, was tried and tempted,
unlike us, without a stain;
since he shared our lowly place,
let us boldly seek his grace.
3 Sacrifice and suffering over,
now he sits at God's right hand,
crowned with praise, no more an outcast,
his preeminence long planned;
such a great high priest we have,
strong to help, supreme to save.
4 Love's example, hope's attraction,
faith's beginning and its end,
pioneer of our salvation,
mighty advocate and friend:
Jesus, high in glory raised,
our ascended Lord, be praised!
