Jesus, the Son of God, who once

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the Son of God, who once for us his life resign'd, now lives in heav’n, our great High Priest, and never-dying friend. 2 Through life, through death, let us to him with constancy adhere; faith shall supply new strength, and hope shall banish ev’ry fear. 3 To human weakness not severe is our High Priest above; his heart o’erflows with tenderness, his bowels melt with love. 4 With sympathetic feelings touch'd, he knows our feeble frame; he knows what sore temptations are, for he has felt the same. 5 But though he felt temptation’s pow’r, unconquer'd he remain'd; nor, ‘midst the frailty of our frame, by sin was ever stain'd. 6 As, in the days of feeble flesh, he pour'd forth cries and tears; so, though exalted, still he feels what ev’ry Christian bears. 7 Then let us, with a filial heart, come boldly to the throne of grace supreme, to tell our griefs, and all our wants make known: 8 That mercy we may there obtain for sins and errors past, and grace to help in time of need, while days of trial last.

Come now, and praise the humble saint

Author: George W. Williams, b. 1922 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Come now, and praise the humble saint of David's house and line, the carpenter whose life fulfilled our gracious God's design. 2. The Architect's high miracles he saw, and what was done, the Virgin's spouse, the guardian of great David's greater Son. 3. For him there was no glory here, no crown or martyr's fame; for him there was the patient life of faith and humble name. 4. But now within the Father's grace where saints and angels throng, beside his spouse, before the Son, he joins the heavenly song.
