LyicsMY PROPHET thou, my Heavenly Guide,
Thy sweet instructions I will hear;
The words that from thy lips proceed,
O how divinely sweet they are!
Thee, my great Prophet, I would love,
And imitate the blest above.
My great High Priest, whose precious blood
Was offered, once upon the cross;
Who now dost intercede with God,
And plead the friendless sinner's cause,-
In thee I trust, thee would I love,
And imitate the blest above.
My King supreme, to thee I bow,
A willing subject at thy feet;
All other lords I disavow,
And to thy government submit
My Saviour King this heart would love,
And imitate the blest above
