[Empower'd through Moses' hallowing hands]

No man taketh this honour unto himself, &c. —v. 4.

Empower'd through Moses' hallowing hands,
Aaron before the altar stands,
The consecrated priest of God!
Jesus His officers ordains:
And thus the Christian priest obtains
The gift by elders' hands bestow'd.
Ye that uncall'd the power assume,
Expect the rebels' fearful doom;
The pit its mouth hath open'd wide
For Jesu's sacrilegious foes!
Repent before its mouth it close
On all the harden'd sons of pride.
