Lyics

With joy we meditate the grace 

Of our High Priest above:

His heart is full of tenderness,

His bosom glows with love.



Touched with a sympathy within,

He knows our feeble frame;

He knows what sore temptations mean,

For he has felt the same.



He in the days of feeble flesh,

Poured out his cries and tears;

And in his measure feels afresh

What every member bears.



Then let our humble faith address

His mercy and his power;

We shall obtain delivering grace

In each distressing hour.
