"The evil hour"

Author: Michael Bruce Appears in 206 hymnals Topics: Prayer and Invocation First Line: Where high the heavenly temple stands 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 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. 3 Our Fellow-sufferer yet retains A fellow-feeling of our pains; And still remembers, in the skies, His tears, his agonies, and cries. 4 In every pang that rends the heart, The Man of Sorrow had a part; He sympathizes with our grief, And to the sufferer sends relief. 5 With boldness, therefore, at the throne, Let us make all our sorrows known; And ask the aid of heavenly power, To help us in the evil hour. Scripture: Luke 18:1 Used With Tune: OBERLIN
