"He knoweth our frame"

Author: Frances R. Havergal Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Christ Character of First Line: Yes, he knows the way is dreary Lyrics: 1 Yes, he knows the way is dreary, Knows the weakness of our frame, Knows that hand and heart are weary, He in all points felt the same. He is near to help and bless; Be not weary, onward press. 2 Look to him, who once was willing All his glory to resign, That, for thee the law fulfilling, All his merit might be thine. Strive to follow, day by day, Where his footsteps mark the way. 3 Look to him, the Lord of Glory, Tasting death to win thy life; Gazing on that wondrous story, Canst thou falter in the strife? Is it not new life to know That the Lord hath loved thee so? 4 Look to him, and faith shall brighten, Hope shall soar, and love shall burn, Peace once more thy heart shall lighten; Rise, he calleth thee, return! Be not weary on thy way; Jesus is thy strength and stay. Scripture: Job 23:10 Used With Tune: GRANGE

Christ's Compassion to the Weak

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 425 hymnals Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ First Line: With joy we meditate the grace Lyrics: 1 With joy we meditate the grace Of our High Priest above; His heart is made of tenderness; His bowels melt with love. 2 Touched with a sympathy within, He knows our feeble frame; He knows what sore temptations mean, For he has felt the same. 3 But spotless, innocent, and pure, The great Redeemer stood, While Satan’s fiery darts he bore, And did resist to blood. 4 He, in the days of feeble flesh, Poured out his cries and tears; And, in his measure, feels afresh What every member bears. 5 [He’ll never quench the smoking flax, But raise it to a flame; The bruisèd reed he never breaks, Nor scorns the meanest name.] 6 Then let our humble faith address His mercy and his power; We shall obtain delivering grace, In the distressing hour.

His mercy, truth, and justice join, To make you in full glory shine. 4 The time will shortly come, When you, with sweet surprise, Will find yourself at home With Christ, above the skies; With him to live, with him to reign, And never, never part again.

Freely from thy fullness give; Till I close my earthly race, Be it "Christ for me to live!" 3 Firmly trusting in thy blood, Nothing shall my heart confound; Safely I shall pass the flood, Safely reach Immanuel's ground. 4 When I touch the blessed shore, Back the closing waves shall roll! Death's dark stream shall nevermore Part from thee my ravished soul. 5 Thus oh, thus an entrance give To the land of cloudless sky; Having known it "Christ to live," Let me know it "gain to die."
