NOW let our cheerful eyes survey Our great High Priest above, And celebrate His constant care, And sympathetic love. |

2 | Though raised to a superior throne, Where angels bow around, And high o’er all the shining throng With matchless honours crowned . . . |
||
3 | The names of all His saints He bears Deep graven on His heart; Nor shall the humblest Christian say That he has lost his part. |
||
4 | His attributes shall still abide Our everlasting trust When gems, and monuments, and crowns, Are mouldered down to dust. |
||
5 | So, gracious Saviour, on my breast May Thy dear name be worn, A sacred ornament and guard, To endless ages borne. |

Philip Doddridge, 1702-51 |
