The Divine Pattern

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #151 (1890) Topics: Christ Character of; Christ Character of First Line: My dear Redeemer, and my Lord Lyrics: 1 My dear Redeemer, and my Lord, I read my duty in thy word; But in thy life the law appears, Drawn out in living characters. 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. 3 Cold mountains and the midnight air Witnessed the fervor of thy prayer; The desert thy temptations knew, Thy conflict and thy victory too. 4 Be thou my pattern; make me bear More of thy gracious image here; Then God, the Judge, shall own my name Among the followers of the Lamb.
