Like seed into the ground;
Now let the dew of heav'n descend
And righteous fruits abound.

This holy seed remove,
But give it root in ev'ry heart
To bring forth fruits of love.

The rising plant destroy,
But let it yield a hundredfold
The fruits of peace and joy.

Life-giving grace bestow
That all whose souls the truth receive
Its saving pow'r may know.

I have done what is evil and failed to do what is good.
For this I deserve your punishment both now and in eternity.

Lord, have mercy on me, a sinner.

33. Jesus, My Great High Priest CW #359 Verses 1-4
Text: Isaac Watts,
Setting: BEVAN
Tune: John Goss,

34. Verse 1:
Jesus, my great High Priest,
Offered his blood and died;
My guilty conscience seeks
No sacrifice beside.
His pow'rful blood did once atone,
And now it pleads before the throne.

35. Verse 2:
To Christ, my substitute,
Will I commit my cause;
He answers and fulfills
His Father's broken laws.
Behold my soul at freedom set—
My Jesus paid the dreadful debt!

36. Verse 3:
My advocate appears
For my defense on high;
A gracious Father hears
And lays his thunder by.
Not all that hell or sin can say
Shall turn his heart, his love, away.

37. Verse 4:
Should all the hosts of death
And pow'rs of hell unknown
Put their most dreadful forms
Of rage and mischief on,
I shall be safe, for Christ displays
Superior pow'r and guardian grace.
