|
|
<p>Where high the heavenly temple stands,<br>
|
|
The house of God not made with hands,<br>
|
|
A great High Priest our nature wears,<br>
|
|
The Guardian of mankind appears.</p>
|
|
<p>He Who for men their Surety stood,<br>
|
|
And poured on earth His precious blood,<br>
|
|
Pursues in Heaven His mighty plan,<br>
|
|
The Savior and the Friend of man.</p>
|
|
<p>Though now ascended up on high,<br>
|
|
He bends on earth a brother’s eye;<br>
|
|
Partaker of the human name,<br>
|
|
He knows the frailty of our frame.</p>
|
|
<p>Our fellow Sufferer yet retains<br>
|
|
A fellow feeling of our pains:<br>
|
|
And still remembers in the skies<br>
|
|
His tears, His agonies, and cries.</p>
|
|
<p>In every pang that rends the heart,<br>
|
|
The Man of Sorrows had a part,<br>
|
|
He sympathizes with our grief,<br>
|
|
And to the sufferer sends relief.</p>
|
|
<p>With boldness, therefore, at the throne,<br>
|
|
Let us make all our sorrows known;<br>
|
|
And ask the aids of heavenly power<br>
|
|
To help us in the evil hour.</p>
