Christ My Song - 898

The race of God's anointed priests - The royal priesthood (Gerhard Tersteegen/Frances Bevan/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)

The royal priesthood.

(Jeremiah 33,18; Revelation 1,6)

1. The race of God's anointed priests
shall never pass away;
before his glorious Face they stand,
and serve him night and day. (PDF - Midi)

2. Though reason raves, and unbelief
flows on, a mighty flood,
there are, and shall be, till the end,
the hidden priests of God.

3. His chosen souls, their earthly dross
consumed in sacred fire,
to God's own heart their hearts ascend
in flame of deep desire;

4. the incense of their worship fills
his Temple's holiest place;
their song with wonder fills the Heavens,
the glad new song of grace.
