271. Lord of the Worlds Above
6,6,6,6,8,8.
by I. Watts
Lord of the worlds above,
How pleasant and how fair
The dwellings of Thy love —
The heavenly mansions are!
There is Thy throne of grace,
And there the sprinkled blood;
There lives, before Thy face,
Our great High Priest, O God!
“And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.” (Hebrews 12:24)
“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.” (Hebrews 4:14)
“Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.” (Hebrews 10:22)
“God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.” (Psalm 89:7)
We go from strength to strength,
Through this dark vale of tears,
Till each arrives at length,
And safe in heaven appears:
“They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.” (Psalm 84:7)
“Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.” (Psalm 84:6)
