HEBREWS

The author writes to saints in need

To strengthen faith & guide in deed

He shows that Christ is greater still

Than angels, prophets, law, or will

He tells of Moses, faithful true

Yet Christ is greater, all things new

The Son of God, appointed heir

Of heaven & earth, of all that’s fair

Through Christ the world was made & blessed

By Him, we find eternal rest

He is the radiance of God’s bright light

Sustaining all, our hope, our might

The law was given through Moses’ hand

But grace & truth through Christ now stand

He enters heaven as perfect Priest

Offering Himself, a holy feast

No other sacrifice could save

No mortal priest could conquer grave

But Christ has died, has risen, reigns

To cleanse our hearts, remove our chains

We are called to hold fast, endure

For faith in Him will keep us sure

Encouraged by His patient love

Looking to heaven, not below, above

He warns of drifting, dulling hearts

Of turning from the truth that imparts

God’s word is living, sharp & true

Discern it well in all you do

Christ sympathizes with our weak frame

He suffered, died, yet still the same

He calls us holy, pure, & blest

To run the race & find our rest

Therefore let us persevere & pray

Encourage one another each day

Fix our eyes on Jesus, King

To Him our lives & praises bring

Let faith, hope, & love ever shine

In hearts of all, in God’s design

Through Christ we live, through Christ we stand

Forever held in His mighty hand
