The LORD has sworn
and will not change his mind,
“You are a priest forever
after the order of Melchizedek.”
Just like Melchizedek, Christ is both our King and our High Priest.
Hebrews 1:3...
He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.
Jesus, our Lord, ascend Thy throne,
And near the Father sit;
In Sion shall Thy power be known,
And make Thy foes submit.
And near the Father sit;
In Sion shall Thy power be known,
And make Thy foes submit.
What wonders shall Thy Gospel do!
Thy converts shall surpass
The numerous drops of morning dew,
And own Thy sovereign grace.
Thy converts shall surpass
The numerous drops of morning dew,
And own Thy sovereign grace.
God hath pronounced a firm decree,
Nor changes what He swore:
“Eternal shall Thy priesthood be,
When Adam is no more.
Nor changes what He swore:
“Eternal shall Thy priesthood be,
When Adam is no more.
Melchizedek, that wondrous priest,
That king of high degree,
That holy man who Abraham blessed
Was but a type of Thee.
Jesus our priest for ever lives
To plead for us above;
Jesus our king for ever gives
The blessings of His love.
To plead for us above;
Jesus our king for ever gives
The blessings of His love.
God shall exalt His glorious head,
And His high throne maintain;
Shall strike the powers and princes dead
Who dare oppose His reign.
And His high throne maintain;
Shall strike the powers and princes dead
Who dare oppose His reign.
(Isaac Watts)
