Words

His earthly work is done,The Victim's blood is shed,And Jesus now is goneHis people's cause to plead;He stands in heaven, their great High Priest,He bears their names upon his breast.

He sprinkles with his bloodThe mercy-seat above;He seals our brotherhoodWith his atoning love;And justice threatens us no more,But mercy yields her boundless store.

No temple made with handsHis place of service is;In heaven itself he stands,A heavenly priesthood his:In him the shadows of the lawAre all fulfilled, and now withdraw.

And though awhile he beHid from the eyes of men,His people look to seeTheir great High Priest again;In brightest glory he will come,And take his waiting people home.
