Hymn 125
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 420 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:15-16 First Line: With joy we meditate the grace Lyrics:
With joy we meditate the grace
Of our High Priest above;
His heart is made of tenderness,
His bowels melt with love.
Touched with a sympathy within,
He knows our feeble frame;
He knows what sore temptations mean,
For he has felt the same.
But spotless, innocent, and pure,
The great Redeemer stood,
While Satan's fiery darts he bore,
And did resist to blood.
He in the days of feeble flesh
Poured out his cries and tears,
And in his measure feels afresh
What every member bears.
[He'll never quench the smoking flax,
But raise it to a flame;
The bruised reed he never breaks,
Nor scorns the meanest name.]
Then let our humble faith address
His mercy and his power;
We shall obtain deliv'ring grace
In the distressing hour.

Heb. 4:14-16: Where high the heav'nly temple stands
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 204 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:14-16 First Line: Where high the heav'nly temple stands Lyrics:
Where high the heav’nly temple stands,
The house of God not made with hands,
A great High Priest our nature wears,
The guardian of mankind appears.
He who for men their surety stood,
And poured on earth his precious blood,
Pursues in heav’n his mighty plan,
The Saviour and the friend of man.
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.
Our fellow-suff’rer yet retains
A fellow-feeling of our pains;
And still remembers in the skies
His tears, his agonies, and cries.
In ev’ry pang that tends the heart,
The Man of sorrows had a part;
He sympathizes with our grief,
And to the suff’rer sends relief.
With boldness, therefore, at the throne,
Let us make all our sorrows known;
And ask the aids of heav’nly pow’r
To help us in the evil hour.
Heb. 4:14-16: Where high the heav'nly temple stands
Come, You Disconsolate
Author: Thomas Moore; Thomas Hastings Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 1,055 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:14-16 First Line: Come, you disconsolate, where'er you languish Lyrics: 1 Come, you disconsolate, where'er you languish;
come to the mercy seat, fervently kneel.
Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish;
earth has no sorrows that heaven cannot heal.
2 Joy of the desolate, light of the straying,
hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure!
Here speaks the Comforter, in mercy saying,
"Earth has no sorrows that heaven cannot cure."
3 Here see the bread of life; see waters flowing
forth from the throne of God, pure from above.
Come to the feast prepared; come, ever knowing
earth has no sorrows but heaven can remove.

What a Friend We Have in Jesus
Author: Joseph M. Scriven, 1819-86 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,692 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:15 Lyrics: 1 What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit;
Oh, what needless pain we bear–
All because we do not carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer!
2 Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged–
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness–
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
3 Are we weak and heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge–
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
In His arms He'll take and shield thee;
Thou wilt find a solace there.

Approach, My Soul, the Mercy Seat
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 612 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:14-16 Lyrics: 1 Approach, my soul, the mercy seat
where Jesus answers prayer;
there humbly fall before his feet,
for none can perish there.
2 Thy promise is my only plea;
with this I venture nigh:
thou callest burdened souls to thee,
and such, O Lord, am I.
3 Bowed down beneath a load of sin,
by Satan sorely pressed,
by war without, and fears within,
I come to thee for rest.
4 Be thou my shield and hiding place,
that, sheltered near thy side,
I may my fierce accuser face,
and tell him thou hast died.
5 O wondrous love! to bleed and die,
to bear the cross and shame,
that guilty sinners, such as I,
might plead thy gracious name!

2 My soul, ask what thou wilt;
thou canst not be too bold;
since his own blood for thee he spilt,
what else can he withhold?
3 Thine image, Lord, bestow,
thy presence and thy love;
I ask to serve thee here below,
and reign with thee above.

conform my will to thine;
let me victorious be in death,
and then in glory shine.

Before the Throne of God Above
Author: Charitie L. de Chenez, 1841-1923 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 57 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:14-16 Lyrics: 1 Before the throne of God above
I have a strong, a perfect plea;
A great High Priest, whose name is Love,
Who ever lives and pleads for me.
2 My name is graven on His hands,
My name is written on His heart;
I know that while in heav'n He stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart.
3 When Satan tempts me to despair,
And tells me of the guilt within,
Upward I look, and see Him there
Who made an end of all my sin.
4 Because the sinless Savior died,
My sinful soul is counted free;
For God, the just, is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me.
5 Behold Him there! The risen Lamb!
My perfect, spotless righteousness,
The great unchangeable I AM,
The King of glory and of grace!
6 At one with Him, I cannot die,
My soul is purchased by His blood;
My life is hid with Christ on high,
With Christ, my Savior and my God.

accept the praise I bring.

and cold my warmest thought;
but, when I see thee as thou art,
I'll praise thee as I ought.
6 Till then I would thy love proclaim
with every fleeting breath;
and may the music of thy name
refresh my soul in death. Topics: Christ Risen Reign and Priesthood; Our Response to Christ In Devotion; Devotion; Jesus Name; Jesus Names and images for Used With Tune: ST. PETER

thou wast fasting in the wild;
forty days and forty nights
tempted, and yet undefiled.
2 Sunbeams scorching day by day;
chilly dewdrops nightly shed;
prowling beasts about thy way;
stones thy pillow; earth thy bed.
3 Shall not we thy sorrows share,
learn thy discipline of will,
and, like thee, by fast and prayer
wrestle with the powers of ill?
4 And if Satan, vexing sore,
flesh and spirit should assail,
thou, his vanquisher before,
wilt not suffer us to fail.
5 Watching, praying, struggling thus,
victory ours at last shall be;
angels minister to us
as they ministered to thee. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Public Ministry; Christian Year Lent; Jesus temptations Used With Tune: AUS DER TIEFE (HEINLEIN)

Since Our Great High Priest, Christ Jesus
Author: Christopher M. Idle Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:14-16 Lyrics: 1 Since our great high priest, Christ Jesus,
bears the name above all names,
reigning Son of God, surpassing
other titles, powers, and claims
since to heaven our Lord has passed,
let us hold our witness fast!
2 Since we have a priest who suffered,
knowing weakness, tears, and pain;
who, like us, was tried and tempted;
unlike us, without a stain
since he shared our lowly place,
let us boldly seek his grace!
3 Sacrifice and suffering over,
now he sits at God's right hand,
crowned with praise, no more an outcast,
his preeminence long planned;
such a great high priest we have,
strong to help, supreme to save!
4 Love's example, hope's attraction,
faith's beginning and its end,
pioneer of our salvation,
mighty advocate and friend:
Jesus, now in glory raised,
our ascended Lord, be praised!

feeds me with the living bread;

and my soul athirst may be,
gushing from the rock before me,
lo! a spring of joy I see;
gushing from the rock before me,
lo! a spring of joy I see.

O the fullness of His love!
Perfect rest to me is promised
in my Father’s house above;
when my spirit, clothed immortal,
wings its flight to realms of day,

"Jesus led me all the way";
this my song through endless ages,
"Jesus led me all the way."
