Where high the heavenly temple stands

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 204 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Where high the heavenly temple stands, the house of God not made with hands, a great High Priest our nature wears, Jesus, the Son of God, appears. 2 He who for us our surety stood, and poured on earth his precious blood, pursues in heaven his mighty plan, eternal God and Son 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 has 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 aid of heavenly power to help us in the evil hour.
