"Christ, Our Priest and King"

A hymn written by Isaac Watts. (in long meter)

Revelation 1:5-7 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

"Christ, Our Priest and King"

1. Now to the Lord, who makes us know
The wonders of His dying love,
Be humble honors paid below,
And strains of nobler praise above.

2. 'Twas He who cleansed our foulest sins,
And washed us in His precious blood;
'Tis He who makes us priest and kings,
And brings us rebels near to God.

3. To Jesus, our atoning Priest,
To Jesus, our eternal King,
Be everlasting power confessed,
Let every tongue His glory sing.

4. Behold! on flying clouds He comes,
And every eye shall see Him move;
Though with our sins we pierced Him once,
He now displays His pardoning love.

5. The unbelieving world shall wail,
While we rejoice to see the day:
Come, Lord, nor let Thy promise fail,
Nor let Thy chariot long delay.
