Verse 1
Come, let us join in songs of praise
To our ascended Priest;
He entered heaven with all our names
Engraven on his breast.
Verse 2
Below he washed our guilt away,
By his atoning blood;
Now he appears before the throne,
And pleads our cause with God.
Verse 3
Clothed with our nature still, he knows
The weakness of our frame,
And how to shield us from the foes
Which he himself o’ercame.
Verse 4
Oh! may we ne’er forget his grace,
Nor blush to wear his name;
Still may our hearts hold fast his faith,
Our mouths his praise proclaim.

Verse 1
With joy we meditate the grace
Of our High Priest above;
His heart is made of tenderness,
His bowels melt with love.
Verse 2
Touched with a sympathy within,
He knows our feeble frame;
He knows what sore temptations mean,
For he has felt the same.
Verse 3
He, in the days of feeble flesh,
Poured out his cries and tears;
And, in his measure, feels afresh
What every member bears.
Verse 4
Then let our humble faith address
His mercy and his power;
We shall obtain delivering grace
In the distressing hour.

Verse 1
Awake, and sing the song
Of Moses and the Lamb;
Wake, every heart, and every tongue!
To praise the Savior’s name.
Verse 2
Sing of his dying love;
Sing of his rising power;
Sing how he intercedes above
For those whose sins he bore.
Verse 3
Sing on your heavenly way,
Ye ransomed sinners! sing;
Sing on, rejoicing, every day,
In Christ, th’ eternal King.
Verse 4
Soon shall ye hear him say,
“Ye blessed children! come;”
Soon will he call you hence away,
And take his wanderers home.
