Priestly Propitiation

orchidee



Tune: Marching

(faster tune to 'Father hear the prayer we offer')

Hebrews Chapter 2 parts

********

We see Jesus, He was made sure

Offering for us, heart's-cure

Made little lower than angels

Now each tongue His glory tells

 

He crowned now, glory and honour

Earth and heaven agree, concur

For He by grace of God tasted

Death for each man, none wasted

 

That the extent of His grace good

That who trust in Him, they should

Know forgiveness, life eternal

As they respond to His call

 

He made full human, full divine

Sharing human life like mine

Made a merciful and faithful

High priest who atones for all 

 

He the way, our reconciling

He to us God does Him bring

Through Himself, the living curtain

Welcomes children, women, men

 

For He has shared in temptation

Common to men, each station

So able now, helps those tempted

We on life's path by Him led

    The gift of divine forgiveness made clear through these lines - such a comforting read dear Orchi.
