Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #135 (1899) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 With joy we meditate the grace
Of our High Priest above;
His heart is made of tenderness,
It melts with pitying 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 He, in the days of feeble flesh,
Poured out His cries and tears,
And in His measure feels afresh
What every member bears.
4 He'll never quench the smoking flax,
But raise it to a flame;
The bruisèd reed He never breaks,
Nor scorns the meanest name.
5 Then let our humble faith address
His mercy and His power;
We shall obtain delivering grace
In the distressing hour.
