[An Advocate in heaven we have]

Cease not to cry unto the Lord our God for us, &c. —vii. 8.

An Advocate in heaven we have,
Who pleads for Israel's faithful race,
And God shall to the utmost save
The souls for whom our Prophet prays:
From sin, the world, and Satan's powers
He now doth to our rescue come,
And when the greedy tomb devours,
Redeems us from the greedy tomb.
