Melchisedec a type of Christ. Ps. 110. 4; Heb 5. 10
1
Thou dear Redeemer, dying Lamb,
 
We love to hear of thee;
 
No music’s like thy charming name
 
Nor half so sweet can be.
2
O let us ever hear thy voice;
 
In mercy to us speak;
 
And in our Priest we will rejoice,
 
Thou great Melchisedec.
3
Our Jesus shall be still our theme,
 
While in this world we stay;
 
We’ll sing our Jesus’ lovely name,
 
When all things else decay.
4
When we appear in yonder cloud
 
With all thy favoured throng,
 
Then will we sing more sweet, more loud,
 
And Christ shall be our song.
