With joy we meditate the grace

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 422 hymnals Topics: Nurturing God's People Lyrics: 1 With joy we meditate the grace of our High Priest above; his heart is made of tenderness, and ever yearns 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 each distressing hour.
