LyicsWITH joy we meditate the grace
Of our High Priest above;
His heart is full of tenderness,
His bosom glows with love.
Touch'd 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,
Pour'd 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 pow'r;
We shall obtain deliv'ring grace
In each distressing hour.
