B.XI. Christ's Compassion ot the Tempted

1 With Joy we meditate the Grace
Of our high Priest above;
His Heart is made of Tenderness,
His Bowels melt with Love.

2 Touch'd with a Sympathy within,
He knows our feeble Frame;
He knows what sore Temptations mean,
For he hath felt the same.

3 He in the Days of feeble Flesh
Pour'd out his Cries and Tears,
And in his Measure feels afresh
What every Member bears.

4 He'll never quench the smoking Flax,
But raise it to a Flame;
The bruised Reed he never breaks,
Nor scorns the meanest Name.

5 Then let our humble Faith address
His Mercy and his Power;
We shall obtain delivering Grace
in the distressing Hour.
