"Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand... and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt" (Genesis 41:42,43). "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard" (Psalm 133:1,2). "Whoso findeth Me findeth life, and shall obtain favor of the LORD" (Proverbs 8:35).
The portraits in God's
Word are full
Of Christ our Prince, our
Priest, and Savior,
Who gave Himself to save
our soul
And died to grant to us
His favor.
In Joseph we behold the
Prince
Exalted high for all to
see.
Our Lord is risen to
convince
That everyone should bow
the knee.
In Aaron we behold the
Priest
Who unifies our hearts in
love,
Who saves the greatest and
the least,
And Who prepares our place
above.
O Lord, we marvel at these
things!
You triumphed over all the
strife!
As Prince and Priest Your
triumph brings
The blessings of eternal
life.
