My heart shall bloom forever for you with praises new, and from your name shall never withhold the honour due.

With Joy We Meditate the Grace

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: VU1996 #351 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Year Written: 1707 Lyrics: 1 With joy we meditate the grace of our high priest above; his heart is made of tenderness, it overflows with love. 2 Touched with a sympathy within, he knows our feeble frame; he knows what sore temptations mean, for he has felt the same. 3 But spotless, innocent, and pure the great Redeemer stood while Satan's fiery darts he bore, and did resist to blood. 4 He, in the days of feeble flesh, poured out his cries and tears; and in his measure feels afresh what every member bears. 5 He'll never quench the smoking flax, but raise it to a flame; the bruised reed he never breaks, nor scorns the meanest name. 6 Then let our humble faith address his mercy and his power; we shall obtain delivering grace in each distressing hour.
