Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 339 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 5:10 Lyrics: 1 Join all the glorious names of wisdom, love, and power, that ever mortals knew or angels ever bore; all are too weak to speak his worth, too weak to set my Savior forth. 2 Great Prophet of my God, my tongue would bless thy name; by thee the joyful news of our salvation came: the joyful news of sins forgiv'n, of hell subdued, and peace with heav'n. 3 Be thou my Counselor, my Pattern and my Guide, and through this desert land still keep me by thy side; O let my feet ne'er run astray, nor rove, nor seek the crooked way. 4 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. 5 My dear almighty Lord, my Conqu'ror and my King, thy scepter and thy sword, thy reigning grace I sing. Thine is the pow'r; behold, I sit in willing bonds before thy feet. Used With Tune: CROFT'S 136TH

Where High the Heavenly Temple Stands

Author: Michael Bruce Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 206 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 5:7-8 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 aids of heavenly power To help us in the evil hour. Amen. Topics: Christ Sympathy; Prayer; Life in Christ Prayer and Intercession Used With Tune: SOLDAU Text Sources: As in Scottish Paraphrases, 1781

At the Lamb's High Feast We Sing

Author: Robert Campbell (1814-1868) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 186 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 5:1-10 Lyrics: 1 At the Lamb's high feast we sing praise to our victorious King, who hath washed us in the tide flowing from his pierced side; praise we him, whose love divine gives his sacred blood for wine, gives his body for the feast, Christ the victim, Christ the priest. 2 Where the paschal blood is poured, death's dark angel sheathes his sword; Israel's hosts triumphant go through the wave that drowns the foe. Praise we Christ, whose blood was shed, paschal victim, paschal bread; with sincerity and love eat we manna from above. 3 Mighty victim from on high, hell's fierce powers beneath thee lie; death is broken in the fight, thou has brought us life and light. Now no more can death appal, now no more the grave enthral! Thou has opened paradise, and in thee thy saints shall rise. 4 This, our gift of Easter joy, sin alone can now destroy; from sin's power do thou set free souls new-born, O Lord, in thee. Hymns of glory, songs of praise, Father, unto thee we raise; risen Lord, all praise to thee, with the Spirit ever be.

Breathing After God

Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 85 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 5:8-10 First Line: Where is my God? does he retire Lyrics: 1. Where is my God? does he retire Beyond the reach of humble sighs? Are these weak breathings of desire Too languid to ascend the skies? Where is my God? can he be mine And yet so long conceal his face? And must I every joy resign Nor hope for his returning grace? 2. Hence guilty diffidence depart, His goodness never can decline; He sees this weak, this trembling heart That yet aspires to call him mine. He hears the breathings of desire, The weak petition if sincere, Is not forbidden to aspire, And hope to reach his gracious ear. 3. Look up, my soul, with cheerful eye, See where the great redeemer stands, The glorious advocate on high, With precious incense in his hands. He sweetens every humble groan, He recommends each broken prayer; Recline your hope on him alone, Whose power and love forbid despair. 4. Teach my weak heart, O gracious Lord, With stronger faith to call you mine, Bid me pronounce the blissful word, My father God with joy divine. Look up, my soul, with cheerful eye, See where the great redeemer stands, The glorious advocate on high, With precious incense in his hands. Topics: Lent Used With Tune: AMITY

How Shall I Follow Him I Serve?

Author: Josiah Conder Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 80 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 5:8 Lyrics: 1 How shall I follow Him I serve? How shall I copy Him I love? Nor from those blessed footsteps swerve, Which lead me to His seat above? 2 Privations, sorrows, bitter scorn, The life of toil, the mean abode, The faithless kiss, the crown of thorn,-- Are these the consecrated road? 3 'Twas thus He suffered, though a Son, Foreknowing, choosing, feeling all, Until the perfect work was done, And drunk the bitter cup of gall. 4 Lord, should my path through suffering lie, Forbid it I should e'er repine; Still let me turn to Calvary, Nor heed my griefs, remembering Thine. 5 O let me think how Thou didst leave Untasted every pure delight, To fast, to faint, to watch, to grieve, The toilsome day, the homeless night: 6 To faint, to grieve, to die for me! Thou camest not Thyself to please: And, dear as earthly comforts be, Shall I not love Thee more than these? 7 Yes, I would count them all but loss, To gain the notice of Thine eye: Flesh shrinks and trembles at the cross, But Thou canst give the victory. Amen. Topics: Church Year Lent; Sexagesima; Lenten Hymns; Lent, First Sunday; Holy Week; Cross-bearing; Trials Used With Tune: MARYTON

Thou man of griefs, remember me

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 72 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 5:7 Lyrics: 1 Thou man of griefs, remember me, Who never canst thyself forget Thy last, mysterious agony, Thy fainting pangs, and bloody sweat! 2 When, wrestling in the strength of prayer, Thy spirit sunk beneath its load! Thy feeble flesh afraid to bear The wrath of an almighty God! 3 Father if I may call thee so, Regard my fearful heart's desire, Remove this load of guilty wo, Nor let me in my sins expire! 4 I tremble lest the wrath divine, Which bruises now my sinful soul, Should bruise this wretched soul of mine, Long as eternal ages roll! 5 To thee, my last distress I bring! The heighten'd fear of death I find! The tyrant, brandishing his sting, Appears, and hell is close behind! 6 I deprecate that death alone, That endless banishment from thee! O save me, through thine only Son, Who trembled, wept, and bled for me! Topics: Apprehension confessed, or Jesus was heard in that he feared; Supplication for the divine mercy
