My great High Priest is Je¤sus,
Be¤fore the Fa¤ther’s face,
And I am dai¤ly prov¤ing
His mer¤cy, truth and grace.

Chorus:
My life is ful¤ly yield¤ed,
With heart and mind and ¤will.
Oh, may His love and Spir¤it,
My in¤most be¤ing fill.

He is my eld¤er broth¤er
Who pleads at God’s right hand,
And He will keep me faith¤ful,
A stran¤ger in the land.

A pil¤grim here I jour¤ney,
My treas¤ure is on high,
Of rich¤es nev¤er fail¤ing,
And love which can¤not die.

He gives to me His na¤ture,
Clothed in His rai¤ment white,
Mine eyes He hath a¤noint¤ed,
To walk in His pure light.

The path is grow¤ing bright¤er,
I love the low¤ly way
Of peace and joy and glad¤ness
That leads to per¤fect day.

I want to be more like Him,
God’s well¤be¤lov¤ed Son,
Con¤form me to His im¤age,
O Thou, Al¤might¤y One.
