Author: A. Cleveland Coxe Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #302 (1886) 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. Topics: Christ Life and Character Tune Title: ROCKINGHAM
