Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #171 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy Lyrics: 1 Where high the heav'nly temple stands,
The house of God not made with hands,
a great Highpriest our nature wears,
The guardian of our souls appears.
2 His race for ever is complete,
For ever undisturb'd his seat;
Myriads of angels round him fly,
And sing his well-gain'd victory.
3 The Saviour and the Friend of man
Pursues in heav'n his gracious plan;
And, though ascended up on high,
He bends on earth a brother's eye.
4 Raise, raise, my soul, thy raptur'd sight,
With sacred wonder and delight;
At God's right hand thy Saviour see,
Enter'd within the veil for thee.
5 With filial boldness, at the throne,
Make all thy cares and sorrows known;
And ask the aids of heav'nly pow'r
To help thee in the evil hour.
