1

With joy we meditate the graceOf our High Priest above;His heart is made of tenderness,His bosom glows with love.

2

Touched with a sympathy within,He knows our feeble frame;He knows what sore temptations mean,For he hath felt the same.

3

He, in the days of feeble flesh,Poured out his cries and tears;And in full measure feels afreshWhat every member bears.

4

Then let our humble faith addressHis mercy and his power;We shall obtain delivering graceIn the distressing hour.

About this hymn

As printed Words only. As printed: hymn number «351» (large) in the left column of p. 116, under stanza 4 and «Charles Wesley.» of hymn 350, with the italic reference line «227, 114.» (= sing to the tunes of hymns 227 or 114) beside the number; all four stanzas in the left column, numbered «1»–«4» (no period); «Isaac Watts.» in italics after stanza 4. The first word «WITH» is set in capitals and small capitals. Lines 2 and 4 of each stanza are indented in the print. The print sets a thin space before «;» («above ;», «frame ;», «tears ;», «power ;»); it is closed up here. No meter is printed (the text is C. M., like the tunes referred to). Spelling, punctuation and capitals are the print's.
