The atoning work is done, The Victim's blood is shed, And Jesus now is gone His people's cause to plead: He sits in heaven their great High Priest, And bears their names upon His breast. See "sprinkled with the blood The mercy-seat" above; For Justice had withstood The purposes of Love; But Justice now withstands no more, And Mercy yields her boundless store. And though awhile He be Hid from the eyes of men, His people look to see Their great High Priest again. In brightest glory He will come, And take His waiting people home.
