128 C.M. John Newton
Priesthood and Perfections of Christ. Exod. 28. 29
1
Christ bears the names of all his saints,
 
Deep on his heart engraved;
 
Attentive to the state and wants
 
Of all his love has saved.
2
In him a holiness complete,
 
Light, and perfection shine;
 
And wisdom, grace, and glory meet;
 
A Saviour all divine.
3
The blood, which, as a priest, he bears
 
For sinners, is his own;
 
The incense of his prayers and tears
 
Perfumes the holy throne.
4
In him my weary soul has rest,
 
Though I am weak and vile;
 
I read my name upon his breast,
 
And see the Father smile.
