With joy we meditate the grace

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 423 hymnals 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 Touch'd 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, Pour'd 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 bruised 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.

Jesus, my great High Priest

Appears in 41 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my great High Priest, Offered His blood and died; My guilty conscience seeks No sacrifice beside. His powerful blood did once atone, And now it pleads before the throne. 2 To this dear Surety's hand Will I commit my cause; He answers and fulfils His Father's broken laws. Behold my soul at freedom set; My Surety paid the dreadful debt. 3 My Advocate appears For my defence on high; The Father bows His ears, And lays His thunder by. Not all that hell or sin can say, Shall turn His heart, His love away. 4 Should all the hosts of death, And powers of hell unknown, Put their most dreadful forms Of rage and mischief on, I shall be safe, for Christ displays Superior power and guardian grace.

I long and thirst, and faint ti prove The greatness of redeeming love, The love of Christ to me. 2 Stronger His love than death or hell; Its riches are unsearchable; The first-born sons of light Desire, in vain, its depths to see; They cannot reach the mystery, The length, and breadth, and height. 3 Oh, that I could forever sit, With Mary, at the Master’s feet! Be this my happy choice; My only care, delight, and bliss, My joy, my heaven on earth be this, To hear the Bridegroom’s voice. 4 Oh, that I could, with favor'd John, Recline my weary head upon The dear Redeemer's breast! From care, and sin, and sorrow free, Give me, O Lord, to find in Thee My everlasting rest.

With salvation's walls surrounded, Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters, Springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove: Who can faint while such a river Ever flows thy thirst t'assuage?
