The legal priests as servants stood

Verse 1
The legal priests as servants stood,
And brought their offerings day by day,
Faint shadows of that sacred blood
Which takes the general sin away,
That one sufficient sacrifice,
By Christ presented to the skies.

Verse 2
He offered up himself entire,
And never need the death repeat;
Justice can nothing more require;
The sacrifice is all compleat:
And seated by his Father’s side
He rests, forever glorified.

Verse 3
The Son, at God’s right-hand he sits,
Expecting, in divine repose,
Till earth to his command submits,
While trampling on his vanquish’d foes,
He mounts his great millennial throne,
And reigns o’er all his worlds alone!
