Persevering Profession: Hebrews Series - 12

Tune: Salzburg

('At the Lamb's high feast we sing')

Hebrews 10 v.19-25

*********

Having we then boldness to

Enter holiest place through

The blood of Jesus, price paid

For us He His life down laid

We can come with confidence

By new, living way made hence

For us, through His flesh, the veil

He for us does still prevail

 

And He be our great high priest

To the greatest and the least

Over house of God He is

He our Saviour, we see this

So let us draw near having

A true heart, to Him it bring

Have full assurance of faith

For it shall be as He saith

 

And our heart let be sprinkled

From evil conscience, we called

And our bodies washed with pure

Water, which cleanses e'ermore

Let us hold fat profession

Of our faith, waver to none

Trusting in Jesus the Son

He our Saviour, holy one

 

For the Lord He faithful be

He who has promised us, see

And let us consider how

To stir up each other now

Unto love, and also do

Good works here through Christ anew

Not forsaking our meeting

Exhort, His Day is coming

      Thanks Michael.

      Thanks STEVE ~ as with everything ~ the old ones are best ! The expression "Let us come boldly before the Throne of Grace" is for me the essence of what the NT is all about ~ especially Hebrews ~ When JESUS died for all our sins ~ He made access to GOD possible. Not subserviently but BOLDLY ~ not by Appointment Only but 24/7 ~ not ritualistically but intimately as a child to his DADDY ~ Abba Father ~ AMEN ~ Great uplift for a wet Wednesday ~ My FUSION need a FISH ! Yours BRIAN

        Thanks Brian. Well, there's new ones that are good too! What I don't like are some meaningless 'choruses' of which they shall be sung about 20 times, then we sit down! Yet there is repetitive Taize, but I quite enjoy that. I was there in the 6th Century of course. I dunno any Latin, well about 3 words! Hmm, need to think of a fish!
