Author: William Enfield Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8413 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Behold, where in a mortal form
Appears each grace divine!
The virtues, all in Jesus met,
With mildest radiance shine.
2 The largest love of human kind
Inspired His godlike breast;
In deeds of mercy, words of peace,
His kindness was expressed.
3 To spread the rays of heav’nly light,
To give the mourner joy,
To preach glad tidings to the poor,
Was His divine employ.
4 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.
5 ’Midst keen reproach and cruel scorn,
He meek and patient stood.
His foes, ungrateful, sought His life;
He labored for their good.
6 To God He left His righteous cause,
And still His task pursued,
While humble prayer, and holy faith,
His fainting strength renewed.
7 At last, in hour of deep distress,
Before His Father’s throne,
With soul resigned He bowed, and said,
"Thy will, not Mine, be done!"
8 Be Christ our pattern and our guide!
His image may we bear!
O may we tread His holy steps,
His joys and glory share! Languages: English Tune Title: MANOAH
