Author: Enfield Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #179 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Titus 2:14 Lyrics: 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 Lowly in heart, to all his friends
A friend and servant found;
He washed their feet, he wiped their tears,
And healed each bleeding wound.
4 'Mid keen reproach and cruel scorn
Patient and meek he stood;
His foes, ungrateful, sought his life:
He labored for their good.
5 In the last hour of deep distress,
Before his Father's throne,
With soul resigned, he bowed, and said,
Thy will, not mine, be done!
6 Be Christ our pattern and our guide;
His image may we bear:
Oh, may we tread his holy steps,
His joy and glory share.
