The beneficence of Christ for our imitaion

Author: Dr. Gibbons Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 156 hymnals Topics: Example of Christ First Line: When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay Lyrics: 1 When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay, What were His works, from day to day, But miracles of pow'r and grace, That spread salvation thro' our race? 2 Teach us, O Lord, to keep in view Thy pattern, and thy steps pursue; Let alms bestowed, let kindness done, Be witness'd by each rolling sun. 3 That man may last, but never lives, Who much receives but nothing gives, Whom none can love, whom none can thank; Creation's blot, creation's blank. 4 But he, who marks from day to day In generous acts his radiant way, Treads the same path his Savior trod, The path to glory and to God. Scripture: Acts 10:38
