Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Ecumenical Praise #37 (1977) First Line: My dear Redeemer, and my Lord Refrain First Line: I read my duty in Thy word Lyrics: 1 My dear Redeemer and my Lord,
I read my duty in Thy Word;
But in my life the law appears
drawn out in living characters.
Refrain:
I read my duty in Thy Word,
My dear Redeemer and my Lord
2 Such was Thy truth and such Thy zeal,
such deference to Thy Father's will,
Such love, and meekness so divine,
I would transcribe and make them mine. [Refrain]
3 Cold mountains and the midnight air
witnessed the fervor of Thy prayer;
The desert Thy temptations knew,
Thy conflict and Thy victory too. [Refrain]
4 Be Thou my pattern, make me bear
more of Thy gracious image here;
Then God, the Judge, shall own my name
amongst the followers of the Lamb. [Refrain] Topics: Jesus Christ His Temptations and Prayers Languages: English Tune Title: LIFE OF CHRIST
My Dear Redeemer
