VERSE 1
Where high the heav'nly temple stands,
The house of God not made with hands,
A great High Priest our nature wears,
The patron of mankind appears.
VERSE 2
He, who for men their Surety stood,
And pour'd on earth His precious blood,
Pursues in heav'n His mighty plan,
The Saviour and the Friend of man.
VERSE 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.
VERSE 4
Our Fellow-suff'rer yet retains
A fellow-feeling of our pains;
And still remembers in the skies
His tears, His agonies, and cries.
VERSE 5
In every pang, that rends the heart,
The Man of sorrows had a part;
He sympathizes with our grief
And to the suff'rer sends relief.
VERSE 6
With boldness, therefore, at the throne,
Let us make all our sorrows known;
And ask the aid of heav'nly pow'r
To help us in the evil hour.
