Hymns on the Lord's Supper, 129
From Hymns on the Lord's Supper (1745) · Osborn ed., vol. 3 (1869)
See where our great High-Priest
Before the Lord appears,
And on His loving breast
The tribes of Israel bears,
Never without His people seen,
The Head of all believing men!
With Him, the Corner-stone,
The living stones conjoin;
Christ and His church are one,
One body and one vine;
For us He uses all His powers,
And all He has, or is, is ours.
The motions of our Head
The members all pursue,
By His good Spirit led
To act, and suffer too
Whate'er He did on earth sustain,
Till glorious all like Him we reign.
