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.

The church of Christ is calling us to make the dream come true: a world redeemed by Christ-like love; all life in Christ made new. 3 In gratitude and humble trust we bring our best today to serve your cause and share your love with all along life’s way. O God, who gave yourself to us in Jesus Christ your Son, teach us to give ourselves each day until life's work is done. Used With Tune: FOREST GREEN

All my trust on thee is stayed, All my help from thee I bring; Cover my defenseless head With the shadow of thy wing. A-men. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; More than all in thee I find. Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is thy Name, I am all unrighteousness; False and full of sin I am, Thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound, Make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art, Freely let me take of thee; Spring thou up within my heart, Rise to all eternity. Amen. Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH
