From the slaughter of the kings Abram did return one night, O’er the foe victorious, With the spoils of the fight. On the way this One he met, Who for him did intercede; King of Righteousness and Peace Meeting Abram in his need.

We’re not sinners, miserable; All our sins are history! Now to us, the fighters true, Is Thy priestly ministry. Gathered in thanksgiving, Lord, Now our hearts to Thee we raise; To our great Melchisedec, Render we our highest praise!
I was listening to a Lord’s Day message this morning on Hebrews 7 and the story of Melchizedek, who was a foreshadowing of Christ as our great High Priest. And I remembered that I had written a hymn about this many years ago. So, looked it up, and here it is!
Praise you Lord as our great Melchizedek, King of Righteousness and Peace!
