Tune: Darwalls 148th
('Ye holy angels bright')
Hebrews 7 v.25-28
**********
Jesus continues e'er
Risen, He now dies ne'er
Has an unchangeable
Priesthood, He Priest for all
He be, and so, He is able
To save fully who on Him call
They who do come to God
By Him, the path He trod
On earth, now reigns above
The heaven of His love
He ever lives, to intercede
Comes to aid of His people's need
For such a high priest He
Was fitting that He be
He holy, innocent
Grace to us He has sent
Harmless and undefiled, no sin
O'er death victory did He win
He is made higher than
Heavens, the Son of Man
Not daily as old times
Needs he repeat the rhymes
Of sacrifice, which priests did when
Offered, remembered their sins then
For this He once sure did
Was revealed and not hid
When He offered Himself
In him our treasure, wealth
Men continue not e'er, but He
Consecrated for ever be

I'm going onwards - you too? - and as the hymn says 'some joyful anthem sing'. Pity I'm gonna sing, but it can't be helped. (Is it that bad Orchi?! lol).
Heehee thanks Teddy.
I'm starting a collection to pay Orchi not to sing. If this fails I'm getting a petition together.
Thanks dusk. lol.
Me n DA are gonna form a cult .. N.O.S.E ... No Orchidee Singing Ever 🙂
Thanks Neville. lol.
Arghhhhh my ears are bleedingggggg
Ohh lol thanks SC. Must I sing EVERY one of me poems?!
In spite of all the right words, sound and images, why is most of his flock deaf, dumb and blind - maybe we’re just too…….
Thanks M.
As I have said before Orchi why do you not sing that song with the bagpiper "Far Away" -- and the further away the better.
