1 The true Messiah now appears, The types are all withdrawn; So fly the shadows and the stars Before the rising dawn.
2 No smoking sweets, nor bleeding lambs, Nor kid, nor bullock slain, Incense and spice of costly names Would all be burnt in vain.
3 Aaron must lay his robes away; His mitre and his vest, When God himself comes down to be The offering and the priest.
4 He took our mortal flesh to show The wonders of his love; For us he paid his life below, And prays for us above.
5 "Father, (he cries) forgive their sins, "For I myself have dy'd," And then he shews his open'd veins, And pleads his wounded side.
