VIII. CHRIST'S Intercession typified by AARON'S Breastplate.

NOW let our chearful Eyes survey
Our great High-Priest above,
And celebrate his constant Care,
And sympathetic Love.

Tho' rais'd to a superior Throne,
Where Angels bow around,
And high o'er all the shining Train
With matchless Honours crown'd;

The Names of all his Saints he bears
Deep graven on his Heart;
Nor shall the meanest Christian say,
That he hath lost his Part.

Those Characters shall fair abide,
Our everlasting Trust,
When Gems, and Monuments, and Crowns
Are moulder'd down to Dust.

So, Gracious Saviour, on my Breast,
May thy dear Name be worn,
A sacred Ornament and Guard,
To endless Ages borne.
