The Psalms And Hymns Of Isaac Watts by Isaac Watts

HYMN 139 The example of Christ.

L. M.

The example of Christ.

My dear Redeemer and my Lord,

I read my 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 def'rence to thy Father's will,

Such love, and meekness so divine,

I would transcribe and make them mine.

Cold mountains and the midnight air

Witnessed the fervor of thy prayer;

The desert thy temptations knew,

Thy conflict, and thy victory too.

Be thou my pattern; make me bear

More of thy gracious image here;

Then God the Judge shall own my name

Amongst the followers of the Lamb.
