Author: Adelbert P. Cecil, 1841-1889 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16638 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: Our great High Priest is sitting Lyrics:
1 Our great High Priest is sitting
At God’s right hand above,
For us His hands uplifting,
In sympathy and love:
Whilst here below, in weakness,
We onward speed our way;
In sorrow oft and sickness,
We sigh, and groan, and pray.
2 Through manifold temptation,
My soul holds on its course;
Christ’s mighty intercession
Alone is my resource;
My gracious High Priest’s pleadings,
Who on the cross did bleed,
Bring down God’s grace and blessings,
Help in each hour of need.
3 O Jesus, blessèd Savior,
We hope to see Thee soon,
Who once on earth did suffer,
Who soon for us wilt come;
’Twas God’s most gracious favor,
That gave His Son to die—
To live our intercessor,
To plead for us on high.
