Text:Can the World See Jesus in You?
Author:Mrs. C. H. Morris
Tune:[Do we live so close to the the Lord today]
Composer:Mrs. C. H. Morris

107. Can the World See Jesus in You?

1 Do we live so close to the Lord today,
Passing to and fro on life’s busy way,
That the world in us can a likeness see
To the Man of Calvary?

Chorus:
Can the world see Jesus in me?
Can the world see Jesus in you?
Does your love to Him ring true,
and your life and service, too?
Can the world see Jesus in you?

2 Do we love, with love to His own akin,
All His creatures lost in the mire of sin?
Will we reach a hand, whatsoe’er it cost,
To reclaim a sinner lost? [Chorus]

3 As an open book they our lives will read,
To our words and acts giving daily heed;
Will they be attracted, or turn away
From the Christ we love today? [Chorus]
