Howard university article (Lewis) The infant Priest was holy born For us unholy and forlorn; From fleshly temple forth came He, Anointed from eternity. This great High Priest in human flesh Was icon of God’s righteousness. His hallowed touch brought sanctity; His hand removed impurity. The holy Lamb undaunted came To God’s own altar lit with flame; While weeping angels hid their eyes, This Priest became a sacrifice. But death would not the victor be Of Him who hung upon the tree. He leads us to the Holy Place Within the veil, before God’s face. The veil is torn, our Priest we see, As at the rail on bended knee Our hungry mouths from Him receive The bread of immortality. The body of God’s Lamb we eat, A priestly food and priestly meat; On sin-parched lips the chalice pours His quenching blood that life restores. With cherubim and seraphim Our voices join the endless hymn, And “Holy, holy, holy” sing To Christ, God’s Lamb, our Priest and King. Vassar College. https://PaperHelp.space
