Aaron and Christ.

How fair was Aaron to the view, When in his splendid garments drest; He wore his robe of heavenly blue, Above his long and snowy vest.
His ephod and his girdle white, Were wrought with purple, gold, and red; Upon his breast shone jewels bright, A costly mitre on his head.
No priest like him dwells now on earth, But there is One beyond the sky; Ah, who can set His glories forth, Or who with him in beauty vie!
O, fairer than the sons of men! O, fairest of the hosts above! What tongue can tell, what eye hath seen The glories of the God of love!
But though a sinful priest must die, That none may on his prayer depend, Our sinless priest still lives on high, And his fair days shall never end.
