Author: Thomas Kelly Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #143 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Th'atoning work is done,
The Saviour's blood is shed,
And Jesus now is gone
His people's cause to plead:
He stands in heaven their great High Priest,
And bears their names upon His breast.
2 No temple made with hands
His place of service is;
In heaven itself He stands,
A heavenly priesthood His;
In Him the shadows of the law
Are all fulfilled, and now withdraw.
3 And though awhile He be
Hid from the eyes of men,
His people look to see
Their great High Priest again:
In brightest glory He will come,
And take His waiting people home.
Amen. Topics: Atonement Completed; Christ Second Advent; Christ High Priest; Christ Intercession of; Christ Praise to; Christ Priesthood of; Forgiveness Of Sin; Praise To Christ Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PETER'S
