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.

The great Shepherd of the Sheep brought back from the Dead

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 290 hymnals First Line: Again the Lord of life and light Lyrics: 1 Again the Lord of life and light Awakes the kindling ray; Unseals the eyelids of the morn, And pours increasing day. 2 O what a night was that, which wrapp'd The heathen world in gloom! O what a sun which broke this day Triumphant from the tomb! 3 This day be grateful homage paid, And loud hosannas sung; Let gladness dwell in ev'ry heart, And praise on ev'ry tongue. 4 Ten thousand diff'ring lips shall join To hail this welcome morn, Which scatter'd blessings from its wings, To nations yet unborn. 5 Jesus, the friend of human kind, With strong compassion mov'd, Descended like a pitying God, To save the souls he lov'd. 6 The pow'rs of darkness leagu'd in vain To bind his soul in death; He shook their kingdom when he fell, With his expiring breath. 7 Not long the toils of hell could keep The hope of Judah's line; Corruption never could take hold On aught so much divine. 8 And now his conq'ring chariot wheels Ascend the lofty skies; While broke, beneath his pow'rful cross, Death's iron sceptre lies. 9 Exalted high at God's right hand, And Lord of all below, Thro' him is pard'ning love dispens'd, And boundless blessings flow. 10 And still for erring, guilty man, A brother's pity flows; And still his bleeding heart is touch'd With mem'ry of our woes. 11 To thee, my Saviour, and my King, Glad homage let me give; And stand prepar'd like thee to die, With thee that I may live.

The only Perfect

Author: James Relly Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: Could I of all perfection boast Lyrics: 1 Could I of all perfection boast, As pure as that which Adam lost, I'd sacrifice it to thy blood, My Christ, my all, my only good. 2 Were I as Abram, strong in faith, And boldly stedfast unto death; I'd bid my faithfulness adieu, And Jesus only faithful view. 3 If I more meek than Moses were, Quite free from anger, strife, or fear; Yet this I gladly would despise, And Jesus's meekness only prize. 4 Was I as Job submissive still, Patient, resign'd in ev'ry ill; Yet all should fade before his cross, Compar'd with him, it is but dross. 5 If I was wise as Solomon, Like him with zeal and ardour shone; Like him I'd vain and foolish see My wisdom, zeal, yea all but Thee. 6 Had I an Angel's purity; Yea even this I would deny; Nor good confess in name or thing, But Christ my Lord, my life, my King.
