LyicsDaniel's wisdom may I know;
Stephen's faith and spirit show;
John's divine communion feel;
Moses' meekness, Joshua's zeal;
Run like the unwearied Paul,
Win the day, and conquer all.
Mary's love may I possess;
Lydia's tender-heartedness;
Peter's ardent spirit feel;
James's faith by works reveal;
Like young Timothy, may I
Every sinful passion fly.
Job's submission may I show;
David's true devotion know;
Samuel's call, O may I hear;
Lazarus's happy portion share;
Let Isaiah's hallow'd fire
All my newborn soul inspire.
Mine be Jacob's wrestling prayer;
Gideon's steadfast, valiant care.
Joseph's purity impart;
Isaac's meditating heart;
Abraham's friendship; let me prove;
Faithful to the God I love.
Most of all, may I pursue
That example Jesus drew;
By my life and conduct show
How he lived and walked below;
Day by day, through grace restored,
Imitate my blessed Lord.
