7545. When Jesus Dwelt in Mortal Clay

1. When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay,
What were His works, from day to day,
But miracles of power and grace,
That spread salvation through our race?

2. At his command, from rayless night
Redeemed, the blind receive their sight,
The deaf in rapture hear His voice,
The dumb in songs of praise rejoice.

3. Teach us, O Lord, to keep in view
Thy pattern, and Thy steps pursue;
Let alms bestowed, let kindness done,
Be witnessed by each rolling sun.

4. Teach us to mark, from day to day,
In generous acts our radiant way,
Tread the same path our Savior trod,
The path to glory and to God.
