"Aaron shall bear their names before the LORD upon his two shoulders for a memorial... and Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goeth in unto the holy place, for a memorial before the LORD continually" (Exodus 28:12,29). "We will remember the name of the LORD our God" (Psalm 20:7). "The Lord make you to increase... to the end He may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God" (1 Thessalonians 3:12,13).
As Aaron bore
each tribal name
Upon his
shoulders and his heart,
Our Savior bore
our sin and shame
With grace and
truth He would impart.
These tokens
which portrayed such favor
In Aaron's
garments thus sufficed
To be memorials
of our Savior,
Who for our sake
was sacrificed.
We shall
remember Christ our Lord
By wounds the
spear and nails made,
Which are memorials
that afford
Remembrance of
the price He paid.
O Lord, our
great High Priest divine,
Memorials which
are marvelous
Are now
displayed in bread and wine
As we recall You
died for us.
