Text:Melchizedek a Type of Christ

XXX. Melchizedek a Type of Christ

1 King of Salem, bless my soul,
Make a wounded sinner whole1
King of righteousness and peace,
Let not thy sweet visits cease!

2 Come! refresh this soul of mine
With thy sacred bread and wine!
All thy love to me unfold,
Half of which can not be told.

3 Hail, Melchizedek divine!
Great high priest, thou shalt be mine;
All my pow'rs before thee fall,
Take not tithe, but take them all!
