Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #52 (1917) 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 def'rence 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 temptation knew,
Thy conflict, and Thy vict'ry, too.
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.
