Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.XII (1766) Lyrics: 1 The true Messiah now appears,
The Types are all withdrawn;
So fly the Shadows and the Stars
Before the rising Dawn.
2 No smoaking Sweets, nor bleeding Lambs,
Nor Kid, nor Bullock slain;
Incense and Spice of costly Names
Would all be burnt in vain.
3 Aaron must lay his Robes away,
His Mitre and his Vest,
When God himself comes down to be
The Off'ring and the Priest.
4 He took our mortal Flesh to shew
The Wonders of his Love;
For us he paid his Life below;
And prays for us above.
5 Father, he cries, forgive their Sins,
For I myself have dy'd;
And then he shows his opened Veins,
And pleads his wounded Side. Topics: Christ the Substance of the Types; Levitical Priesthood fulfilled Christ; Messiah come; Sensual Delights dangerous; Worship delightful Languages: English
