    Section 3 -The Priesthood

    The Heavenly Priesthood

    His earthly work is done,
    The Victim’s blood is shed,
    And Jesus now is gone
    His people’s cause to plead;
    He stands in heaven, their great High Priest,
    He bears their names upon his breast.
    CIS 68.1

    He sprinkles with his blood
    The mercy-seat above;
    He seals our brotherhood
    With his atoning love;
    And justice threatens us no more,
    But mercy yields her boundless store.
    CIS 68.2

    No temples made with hands
    His place of service is;
    In heaven itself he stands,
    A heavenly priesthood his:
    In him the shadows of the law
    Are all fulfilled, and now withdraw.
    CIS 68.3

    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.
    -Thomas Kelly.
