LyicsDaniel's wisdom may I know,
Stephen's faith and spirit show,
John's divine communion feel,
Moses' meekness, Joshua's zeal,
Run like th' unwearied Paul,
Win the day, and conquer all.
Mary's love may I possess,
Lydia's tender-heartedness,
Peter's ardent spirit feel,
James' 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' happy portion share;
Let Isaiah's hallowed fire,
All my new-born soul inspire.
Mine be Jacob's wrestling prayer,
Gideon's valiant steadfast care,
Joseph's purity impart,
Isaac's meditating heart,
Abraham's friendship may I prove,
Faithful to the God of 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 restor'd
Imitate my blessed Lord.
