70. Behold! where, in mortal form

1 Behold! where, in a mortal form,
Appears each grace divine:
The virtues, all in Jesus met,
With mildest radiance shine.

2 To spread the rays of heavenly light,
To give the mourner joy,
To preach glad tidings to the poor,
Was His divine employ.

3 'Mid keen reproach and cruel scorn,
He, meek and patient, stood:
His foes, ungrateful, sought His life
Who labored for their good.

4 In the last hours of deep distress,
Before His Father's throne,
With soul resigned, he bowed, and said,
"Thy will, not mine, be done!"

5 Be Christ our pattern and our guide,
His image may we bear;
Oh may we tread His holy steps,
His joys and glory share!
