Mark 3:13: Our sovereign Priest above

Our sovereign Priest above,
Who first went up the hill,
Doth by His secret Spirit move
And call whome'er He will:
Fountain of priestly power
And ministerial grace,
The church's Head our souls adore,
The God of holiness:

His ministers He takes,
Ordains them all alone,
Associates with Himself, and makes
In mind and spirit one.
Close after Him they press.
The holy mount ascend;
And Jesus with His servants stays
Till time and death shall end.
