1  NOW  let  our  cheerful  eyes  survey

Our  great  Hi^h  Priest  above,
And  celebrate  his  constant  care,
And  sympathetic  love.
2  Though  raised  to  a  superior  thronoi

Where  angels  bow  around,
And  high  o'er  all  the  shining  train,
With  matchless  honors  crowned  ;—

3  The  names  of  all  his  saints  he  bean

Engraven  on  his  heart ;
Nor  shall  a  name  once  treasured  there
E'er  from  his  care  depart

4  Those  characters  shall  fair  abide,

Our  everlasting  trust,
When  gems,  and  monuments,  and  crowns
Are  moukiered  down  to  dust.
5  So,  gracious  Saviour,  on  my  breast,

May  l\\y  Acat  ivam^Vi^'woTO^

71*  Syn^hy  of  Chritt.    Heb.  it  17  C.  U.
1  WITH  joy  we  meditate  the  grace

Of  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  his  measure  feels  afresh
What  every  member  bears.
4  Then  let  our  humble  faith  address

His  mercy  and  his  power ;
We  shall  obtain  delivering  grace
In  the  distressing  hour.
T8«  Heb.  ir.  14—16.  L.  M

1  WHERE  hiffh  the  heavenly  temple  stands
The  hoQse  or  God  not  made  with  liands,
A  great  High  Priest  our  nature  wears.
The  guardian  of  mankind  appears.
