The great High Priest is with thee now;
the Lord of Life himself is near,
before whose face the angels bow.
2 To make thy heart his lowly throne
thy Saviour God in love draws nigh;
he gives himself unto his own,
for whom he once came down to die.
3 He pleads before the mercy-seat;
he pleads with God; he pleads for thee;
he gives thee bread from heaven to eat,
his flesh and blood in mystery.
4 I come, O Lord! For thou dost call –
to blend my pleading prayer with thine;
to thee I give myself – my all,
and feed on thee and make thee mine. Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Holy Communion Languages: English Tune Title: MONTGOMERY
