Tell of the years of his labor, tell of the sorrow he bore, he was despised and afflicted, homeless, rejected and poor. (Refrain) 3 Tell of the cross where they nailed him, writhing in anguish and pain; tell of the grave where they laid him, tell how He liveth again.

Where high the heavenly temple stands

Author: Michael Bruce, 1746-1767 Appears in 206 hymnals Topics: Jesus (See also Christ Love for Children 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. Used With Tune: ST. ALBAN
