Priestly Professions

Tune: Bread of life [Sherwin]

(\'Break thou the bread of life, Dear Lord to me\')

Hebrews 7 v.24 - 28

**********

1. Jesus continues on

He the true Son

Of the Father above

Shows us His love

Unchangeable priesthood

Has He, for good

So He able to save

His life He gave

 

2. Saves to th uttermost

In Him our boast

Who by Him to God come

The total sum

For He does ever live

Graces does give

For us He intercedes

His life it pleads

 

3. He such a high priest is

Glory in this

Full human, full divine

One Saviour fine

Holy, harmless, he be

Undefiled, see

Separate from sinners

No sin allures

 

4. Higher than heavens made

The price He paid

For our salvation sure

For evermore

Not daily offering

As days Old [Covenant] bring

Nor many sacrifice[s]

One would suffice

 

5. Himself that offering

We to Him sing

Himself the sacrifice

Ne\'er made out twice

He Son for alway

Here our New [Covenant] day

High priest eternally

To us He be
