Christ all in all

The Ninth Part.

CHrist is the Word, in whom is life,
'Tis he shall have the glory;
Life to the Dead, the truth of Types,
The truth of ancient story.

Christ is a Prophet, Priest and King,
A Prophet that's all Light,
A Priest that stands 'twixt God and Man,
A King full of delight.

Christ's Manhood is a Temple where
The Holy God does rest;
Our Christ he is our Sacrifice,
Our Christ he is a Priest:

Our Christ he is the Lord of Lords,
Christ is the King of Kings;
Christ is the Sun of Righteousness
With healing in his wings:

Our Christ he is the Tree of Life,
In Paradise he grows,
Whose Fruits do feed, whose Leaves do heal,
Ah! Christ is Sharons Rose:

Christ is our Meat, Christ is our Drink,
Our Physick, and our Health:
Our Peace, our Strength, our Joy, our Crown,
Our Glory, and our Wealth.

Christ is our Father, and our Friend,
Our Brother, and our Love;
Our Head, our Hope, our Surety,
Our Advocate above.
