77

Now let our humble faith behold
Our great High Priest above;
And celebrate His constant care
And sympathetic love.

EXALTED TO His FATHER'S SIDE,
WITH MATCHLESS HONOURS CROWN 'D;
And Lord of all th' angelic host
Who wait the throne around.

The names of all the saints He bears.
En graven on His heart;
Nor shall the humblest saint complain
That He hath lost his part.

THOSE CHARACTERS SHALL FIRM REMAIN,
OUR EVERLASTING TRUST,
WHEN GEMS AND MONUMENTS AND CROWNS
HAVE MOULDER'D INTO DUST.
