Hymn 125

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 420 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:15-16 First Line: With joy we meditate the grace Lyrics: With joy we meditate the grace Of our High Priest above; His heart is made of tenderness, His bowels melt with love. Touched with a sympathy within, He knows our feeble frame; He knows what sore temptations mean, For he has felt the same. But spotless, innocent, and pure, The great Redeemer stood, While Satan's fiery darts he bore, And did resist to blood. He in the days of feeble flesh Poured out his cries and tears, And in his measure feels afresh What every member bears. [He'll never quench the smoking flax, But raise it to a flame; The bruised reed he never breaks, Nor scorns the meanest name.] Then let our humble faith address His mercy and his power; We shall obtain deliv'ring grace In the distressing hour.

Heb. 4:14-16: Where high the heav'nly temple stands

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 204 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:14-16 First Line: Where high the heav'nly temple stands Lyrics: Where high the heav’nly temple stands, The house of God not made with hands, A great High Priest our nature wears, The guardian of mankind appears. He who for men their surety stood, And poured on earth his precious blood, Pursues in heav’n his mighty plan, The Saviour and the friend of man. Though now ascended up on high, He bends on earth a brother’s eye; Partaker of the human name, He knows the frailty of our frame. Our fellow-suff’rer yet retains A fellow-feeling of our pains; And still remembers in the skies His tears, his agonies, and cries. In ev’ry pang that tends the heart, The Man of sorrows had a part; He sympathizes with our grief, And to the suff’rer sends relief. With boldness, therefore, at the throne, Let us make all our sorrows known; And ask the aids of heav’nly pow’r To help us in the evil hour.

Come to the feast prepared; come, ever knowing earth has no sorrows but heaven can remove.

What a privilege to carry Ev'rything to God in prayer! Oh, what peace we often forfeit; Oh, what needless pain we bear– All because we do not carry Ev'rything to God in prayer! 2 Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged– Take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so faithful Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness– Take it to the Lord in prayer. 3 Are we weak and heavy-laden, Cumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, still our refuge– Take it to the Lord in prayer. Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer. In His arms He'll take and shield thee; Thou wilt find a solace there. Topics: Spiritual Songs Used With Tune: CONVERSE

The risen Lamb! My perfect, spotless righteousness, The great unchangeable I AM, The King of glory and of grace! 6 At one with Him, I cannot die, My soul is purchased by His blood; My life is hid with Christ on high, With Christ, my Savior and my God.
