Hymn 125

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 421 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 206 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.

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 1,717 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. Topics: Spiritual Songs Used With Tune: CONVERSE

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 614 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!

Before the Throne of God Above

Author: Charitie L. de Chenez, 1841-1923 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 59 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.

Hark! the songs of peaceful Zion thunder like a mighty flood: 'Jesus, out of every nation, hath redeemed us by his blood.' 2 Alleluia, not as orphans are we left in sorrow now; alleluia, he is near us, faith believes, nor questions how. Though the cloud from sight received him when the forty days were o'er, shall our hearts forget his promise, 'I am with you evermore'? 3 Alleluia, bread of angels, here on earth our food, our stay; alleluia, here the sinful flee to you from day to day. Intercessor, friend of sinners, earth's redeemer, plead for me, where the songs of all the sinless sweep across the crystal sea. 4 Alleluia, King eternal, Lord omnipotent we own; alleluia, born of Mary, earth your footstool, heaven your throne. As within the veil you entered, robed in flesh, our great high priest, here on earth both priest and victim in the eucharistic feast. 5 Alleluia, sing to Jesus! his the sceptre, his the throne; alleluia, his the triumph, his the victory alone. Hark! the songs of peaceful Zion thunder like a mighty flood: 'Jesus, out of every nation, hath redeemed us by his blood.'
