"Now of the things which we have spoken, this is the sum: We have such an High Priest Who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heaven" (Hebrews 8:1).
After everything is spoken,
After all has been explored,
We perceive yet but a token
Of the glory of our Lord.
We will contemplate the sum,
Of our Savior's majesty
In His kingdom that shall come
And for all eternity.
Yet we see the total now
That the prophets look toward:
When every knee to Him shall bow,
And every tongue confess Him Lord.
Thus we see Him on His throne
As the Lord of our confession
And the High Priest of His own,
Making for us intercession.
Oh! The view is glorious here
As we see our Savior's sum!
One day closer! He draws near!
Even so, Lord Jesus, come!
