1 Jesus my great High Priest
Offered His blood and died;
My guilty conscience seeks
No sacrifice beside
His powerful blood did once atone,
And now it pleads before the throne.
And now it pleads before the throne.
2 My Advocate appears
For my defense on high;
The Father bows his ears,
And lays his thunder by:
Not all that hell or sin can say
Shall turn his heart, his love away.
Shall turn his heart, his love away.
Chorus
Join all the glorious names
Of wisdom, love and power,
That ever mortals knew
That angels ever bore:
No name in heaven, no name on earth.
No tongue can tell my Savior's worth.
3 Now let my soul arise,
And tread the tempter down;
My Captain leads me forth
To conquest and a crown:
A feeble saint shall win the day,
Though death and hell obstruct the way.
Though death and hell obstruct the way.
4 Should all the hosts of death
And powers of hell unknown,
Put their most dreadful formsOf rage and mischief on.
I shall be safe,
for Christ displays
Superior power, and guardian grace.
Superior power, and guardian grace.
