154. The Atoning Work Is Done
6.6.6.6.8.8.
by T. Kelly, 1806
1
The atoning work is done,
The Victim’s blood is shed,
His people’s cause to plead:
He sits in heaven their great High Priest,
And bears their names upon His breast.
2
See "sprinkled with the blood
For Justice had withstood
But Justice now withstands no more,
And Mercy yields her boundless store.
3
And though awhile He be
Hid from the eyes of men,
Their great High Priest again.
In brightest glory He will come,
And take His waiting people home.
