To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name, whosoever believes in him, shall receive remission of sins. Acts 10:43. Acts 4:12. This name is as ointment poured forth, the fullness of all grace. Song of Solomon 1:3. It is a strong tower; the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. Proverbs 18:10.

Lift up your eyes to the heavenly seat,
Where your Redeemer stays;
Kind Intercessor, there he sits.
And loves, and pleads, and prays.
Petitions now, and praise may rise,
And saints their offerings bring;
The priest with his own sacrifice,
Presents them to the king.
Jesus alone shall bear my cries,
Up to the Father’s throne;
He, dearest Lord! perfumes my sighs,
And sweetens every groan.
