How beauteous were the marks divine

Author: A. Cleveland Coxe Appears in 209 hymnals Topics: Christ Life and Character Lyrics: 1 How beauteous were the marks divine That in thy meekness used to shine, That lit thy path, O Son of God! The lonely path thy feet have trod. 2 Oh, who like thee, so calm, so mild, So patient, pure, and undefiled? Oh, who like thee did ever go So sinless through a world of woe? 3 Oh, who like thee so humbly bore The scorn, the scoffs of men, before? So meek, so lowly, yet so high, So glorious in humility? 4 A suffering life by thee was led; Thou hadst not where to lay thy head; And since, O Lord, 'twas all for me, Shall I not gladly follow thee? 5 And death, that sets the prisoner free, Was pang, and scoff, and scorn to thee; Yet love through all thy torture glowed, And mercy with thy life-blood flowed. 6 O wondrous Lord, my soul would be Still more and more conformed to thee, And learn of thee, the lowly One, And like thee, all my journey run.
