HYMN 65. The Joy of Believers: Or, The Power of Christ's Intercession.

1

Thy Intercession, holy Lord,
doth yield us Joy and Peace.

69

Ye therefore will with one accord,
from Singing never cease:

2

O thou exalted Priest of God,
who hast thy Father's Ear;
All Glory and high Praise to Thee,
who our sad shame didst bear.

3

Thy Blood was shed, and we are fed
and nourished by Thee;
And by thy Intercession are
preserv'd continually.

4

We need not fear what doth draw near,
because thy Pray'r is heard;
For thou, according to our Day,
wilt Strength to us afford.

5

Ye Saints Rejoyce, lift up your Voice,
Christ is at God's right Hand;
Between God's Wrath and our poor Souls
he evermore doth stand.
