Christian Example of Benevolence

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #84 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christ His Life and Example First Line: And is the gospel peace and love? Lyrics: 1 And is the gospel peace and love? Such let our conversation be; The serpent blended with the dove, Wisdom and meek simplicity. 2 Whene'er the angry passions rise, And tempt our thoughts or tongues to strife On Jesus let us fix our eyes, Bright pattern of the Christian life. 3 O how benevolent and kind! How mild! how ready to forgive! Be this the temper of our mind, And these the rules by which we live. 4 To do his heav'nly Father's will, Was his employment and delight: Humility and holy zeal Shone thro' his life divinely bright. 5 Dispensing good where'er he came, The labors of his life were love. If then we love the Savior's name, Let his divine example move! Languages: English

Love to Enemies from the Example of Christ

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #199a (1740) Topics: Christ Our example First Line: God of my Mercy and my Praise Lyrics: 1 God of my Mercy and my Praise, Thy Glory is my Song; Though Sinners speak against thy Grace With a blaspheming Tongue. 2 When in the Form of mortal Man Thy Son on Earth was found, With cruel Slanders, false and vain They compass'd him around. 3 Their Mis'ries his Compassion move, Their Peace he still pursu'd; They render Hatred for his Love, And Evil for his Good. 4 Their Malice rag'd without a Cause, Yet, with his dying Breath, He pray'd for Murd'rers on the Cross, And blessed his Foes in death. 5 Lord, shall thy bright Example shine In vain before my Eyes? Give me a Soul a-kin to thine, To love my Enemies. 6 The Lord shall on my Side engage, And, in my Savior's Name, I shall defeat their Pride and Rage Who slander and condemn.

Contentment and patience from the example of Christ

Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CCXVII (1799) Topics: Christ Our example First Line: By various maxims, forms, and rules Lyrics: 1 By various maxims, forms, and rules, That pass for wisdom in the schools, I strove my passion to refrain; But all my efforts prov'd in vain. 2 But since the Saviour I have known, My rules are all reduc'd to one; I keep my Lord by faith in view, Which strength supplies and motives too. 3 I see him lead a suff'ring life, Patient amidst reproach and strife; And from this pattern courage take To bear and suffer for his sake. 4 Upon the cross I see him bleed, And by the fight from guilt am freed; This fight destroys the life of sin, And quickens heav'nly life within. 5 To look to Jesus as he rose, Confirms my faith, disarms my foes; Satan I shame and overcome, By pointing to my Saviour's tomb. 6 Exalted on his glorious throne, I see him make my cause his own; Then all my anxious cares subside, For Jesus lives, and will provide.
