BOOK I. 4 Urim and Thummim near his heart, In rich engravings worn, The sacred light of truth impart, To teach and to adorn.

5 Through him the eye of faith descries A greater Priest than he : Thus Jesus pleads above the skies For you, my friends, and me.

6 He bears the names of all his saints Deep on his heart engraved, Attentive to the state and wants Of all his love has saved.

7 In him a holiness complete Light and perfections shine, And wisdom, grace, and glory meet ; A Saviour all divine.

8 The blood which as a Priest he bears For sinners is his own ; The incense of his prayers and tears Perfumes the holy throne.

9 In him my weary soul has rest, Though I am weak and vile ; I read my name upon his breast, And see the Father smile.

1 How bless d the righteous are When they resign their breath ! No wonder Balaam wish d to share In such a happy death.

2 "Oh! let me die, &quot;said he, "The death the righteous do, When life is ended, let me be Found with the faithful few."
