<h2><SPAN name="JESUS_INTERCEDES" id="JESUS_INTERCEDES" />JESUS INTERCEDES</h2>
<p><i>Seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.</i>—Hebrews 7:25.</p>
<div class="poem"><div class="stanza">
<span>When winding up the path of life,<br/></span>
<span>Sometimes mid thorns, sometimes mid flowers,<br/></span>
<span>Oft weary of its toil and strife,<br/></span>
<span>Oft weary of its wintry hours,<br/></span>
<span>There is one thought than all more sweet<br/></span>
<span>From care my longing heart to free;<br/></span>
<span>'Tis this—oh, wondrous to repeat—<br/></span>
<span>That Jesus intercedes for me.<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span>And always when the path is steep,<br/></span>
<span>I cling unto this wayside rope:<br/></span>
<span>Nothing can give so great relief,<br/></span>
<span>Nothing can give a brighter hope.<br/></span>
<span>'Tis like a stately spreading palm,<br/></span>
<span>Which forms my spirit's canopy,<br/></span>
<span>'Neath which I breathe the soothing balm<br/></span>
<span>That Jesus intercedes for me.<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span>And when I reach the sea of death,<br/></span>
<span>To sail its silent waters o'er,<br/></span>
<span>This thought shall calm my latest breath<br/></span>
<span>And waft me to the golden shore.<br/></span>
<span>Not only that my Savior died,<br/></span>
<span>The atoning lamb on Calvary,<br/></span>
<span>But—was there ever love so wide?—<br/></span>
<span>Still lives and intercedes for me.<br/></span></div>
