High-Priest

Author: Cennick Appears in 29 hymnals First Line: A good high-priest is come Lyrics: 1 A good high-priest is come, Supplying Aaron's place, And taking up his room, Dispensing life and grace: The law by Aaron's priesthood came, But grace and truth by Jesus' name. 2 My Lord a priest is made, As sware the mighty God, To Israel and his seed, Ordain'd to offer blood: For sinners who his mercy seek, A priest, as was Melchizedeck. 3 He once temptations knew, Of every sort and kind, That he might succour shew, To every tempted mind: In every point the lamb was try'd Like us, and then for us, he dy'd. 4 He dies, but lives again, And by the altar stands; There shews how he was slain, Op'ning His pierced hands. Our priest abides, and pleads the cause Of us who have transgress'd his laws. 5 I other priests disclaim, And laws and offerings too, None but the bleeding lamb The mighty work can do: He shall have all the praise, for he Hath lov'd, and liv'd, and dy'd for me.

Original Sin; or, The first and second Adam

Author: Dr. Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 42 hymnals First Line: Adam our father and our head Lyrics: 1 Adam our father and our head, Transgress'd and justice doom'd us dead The fiery law speaks all despair, There's no reprieve nor pardon there. 2 Call a bright council in the skies; Seraphs, the mighty and the wise, Speak; are you strong to bear the load, The weighty vengeance of a God? 3 In vain we ask; for all around Stand silent thro' the heavenly ground; There's not a glorious mind above Has half the strength or half the love. 4 But O! unmeasuraable grace! The eternal son takes Adam's place; Down to our world the Saviour flies, Stretches his arms and bleeds, and dies. 5 Amazing work! look down, ye skies, Wonder and gaze with all your eyes; Ye saints below and saints above, And bow to this mysterious love Topics: The Fall; Adam the first and second; Christ the second Adam; Original Sin Text Sources: Dr. Watts's Lyric Poems

As thy Days, so thy strength be

Author: Fawcett Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 152 hymnals First Line: Afflicted saint, to Christ draw near Lyrics: 1 Afflicted saint, to Christ draw near, The Savior's gracious promise hear; His faithful word declares to thee, That as thy days, thy strength shall be. 2 Let not thy heart despond and say, "How shall I stand the trying day?" he has engag'd by firm decree, That as thy days, thy strength shall be. 3 Thy faith is weak, thy foes are strong; And if the conflict should be long, Thy Lord will make the tempter flee; For as thy days, thy strength shall be. 4 Should persecution rage and flame, Still trust in thy Redeemer's name; In fiery trials thou shalt see, That as thy days, thy strength shall be, 5 When call'd to bear the weighty cross, Or sore afflictions, pain, or loss, Or deep distress, or poverty, Still, as thy days, thy strength shall be. 6 When ghastly death appears in view, Christ's presence shall thy fears subdue; he comes to set thy spirit free, And as thy days, thy strength shall be.
