LyicsOUR dear Redeemer and our Lord,
We read our duty in thy word;
But in thy life the law appears
Drawn out in living characters.
Such was thy truth--and such thy zeal,
Such deference to thy Father's will,
Such love--and meekness so divine,
I would transcribe, and make them mine.
Be thou our pattern--make us bear
More of thy gracious image here;
Then God, the Judge, shall own our name
Among the followers of the Lamb.
