Lyics

WITH joy we meditate the grace

Of our High Priest above;

His heart is made of tenderness,

His bowels melt with love.



Touch'd with a sympathy divine,

He knows our feeble frame;

He knows what sore temptations mean,

For he hath felt the same.



He, in the days of feeble flesh,

Pour'd out his cries and tears;

And, in his measure, feels afresh

What ev'ry member bears.



Then let our humble faith address

His mercy and his power;

We shall obtain deliv'ring grace

In the distressing hour.
