Priesthood of Christ. Heb 9. 24-26; 12. 24

1 Blood has a voice to pierce the skies:
  “Revenge!” the blood of Abel cries;
  But the dear stream, when Christ was slain,
  Speaks peace as loud from every vein:

2 Pardon and peace from God on high;
  Behold, he lays his vengeance by;
  And rebels that deserve his sword,
  Become the favourites of the Lord.

3 To Jesus let our praises rise,
  Who gave his life a sacrifice;
  Now he appears before our God,
  And for our pardon pleads his blood.
