Where high the heavenly temple stands

Author: Michael Bruce, 1746-1767 Appears in 207 hymnals Topics: Christ Man of Sorrows; Man Of Sorrows Lyrics: 1 Where high the heavenly temple stands, The house of God not made with hands, A great High Priest our nature wears, The guardian of mankind appears. 2 He who for men their surety stood, And poured on earth His precious blood, Pursues in heaven His mighty plan, The Saviour and the Friend of man. 3 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. 4 Our fellow-sufferer yet retains A fellow-feeling of our pains; And still remembers in the skies His tears, His agonies and cries. 5 In every pang that rends the heart, The Man of sorrows had a part; He sympathizes with our grief, And to the sufferer sends relief. 6 With boldness, therefore, at the throne, Let us make all our sorrows known; And ask the aid of heavenly power To help us in the evil hour.

The Lord Our Dwelling-Place

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Man Mortal and Frail First Line: Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling-place Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling place Through all the ages of our race; Before the mountains had their birth, Or ever Thou hadst formed the earth, From everlasting Thou art God, To everlasting our abode. 2 At Thy command man fades and dies And new-born generations rise; A thousand years are passed away, And all to Thee are but a day; Yea, like the watches of the night, With Thee the ages wing their flight. 3 Man soon yields up his fleeting breath Before this swelling tide of death; Like transient sleep his seasons pass, His life is like the tender grass, Luxuriant 'neath the morning sun, And withered ere the day is done. 4 Man in Thy anger is consumed, and unto grief and sorrow doomed; Before Thy clear and searching sight Our secret sins are brought to light; Beneath Thy wrath we pine and die, Our life expiring like a sigh. 5 For threescore years and ten we wait, Or fourscore years if strength be great; But grief and toil attend life's day, And soon our spirits fly away; O who with true and rev'rent though Can fear Thy anger as he ought?

The Saviour comes! no outward pomp

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 21 hymnals Topics: Christ Man of Woe Lyrics: 1 The Saviour comes! no outward pomp Bespeaks His presence nigh; No earthly beauty shines in Him To draw the carnal eye. 2 Rejected and despised of men, Behold a Man of woe! And grief His close companion still Through all His life below! 3 Yet all the griefs He felt were ours, Ours were the woes He bore; Pangs, not His own, His spotless soul With bitter anguish tore. 4 We held Him as condemned of heaven, An outcast from His God; While for our sins He groaned, He bled, Beneath His Father's rod. 5 His sacred blood hath washed our souls From sin's polluting stain; His stripes have healed us, and His death Revived our souls again. 6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray In ruin’s fatal road; On Him were our transgressions laid; He bore the mighty load. 7 He died to bear the guilt of men, That sin might be forgiven; He lives to bless them and defend, And plead their cause in heaven.
