2 He ever lives above, For me to intercede, His precious blood to plead; 3 Five bleeding wounds He bears, They pour effectual prayers, 4 The Father hears Him pray, He cannot turn away, Cannot refuse His Son; His Spirit answers to the blood, 5 My God is reconciled, His pardoning voice I hear; With confidence I now draw nigh, 241 6, 6, 6, 6, 8, 8 (H. M.) TH' atoning work is done, The Victim's blood is shed, And Jesus now is gone His people's cause to plead : He stands in heaven their great High Priest, And bears their names upon His breast. 2 He sprinkled with His blood The mercy-seat above; For justice had withstood But justice now withstands no more, And mercy yields her boundless store. 3 No temple made with hands His place of service is; In heaven itself He stands, A heavenly priesthood His: In Him the shadows of the Law Are all fulfilled, and now withdraw. 4 And though awhile He be Hid from the eyes of men, His people look to see Their great High Priest again: In brightest glory He will come, And take His waiting people home. 242 HAIL, Thou once despised Jesus!

Till in glory we appear. 4 Worship, honor, power, and blessing, Bring your sweetest, noblest lays; 243 HAIL the day that sees Him rise, 2 There the glorious triumph waits: 3 Him though highest heaven receives, 4 See, He lifts His hands above, 78 5 Still for us His death He pleads; Near Himself prepares our place, 6 There we shall with Thee remain 244 6, 6, 6, 6, 8, 8 (H. M.) JESUS, my great High Priest, Offered His blood and died; My guilty conscience seeks No sacrifice beside. His powerful blood did once atone, 2 To this dear Surety's hand Will I commit my cause; He answers and fulfills His Father's broken laws.
