Author: Thomas Gibbons Appears in 156 hymnals First Line: When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay Lyrics: 1 When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay,
What were his works from day to day,
But miracles of power and grace,
That spread salvation through our race?
2 Teach us, O Lord, to keep in view
Thy pattern, and thy steps pursue;
Let alms bestowed, let kindness done,
Be witnessed by each rolling sun.
3 That man may last, but never lives,
Who much receives, but nothing gives;
Whom none can love, whom none can thank,
Creation's blot, creation's blank!
4 But he who marks, from day to day,
In generous acts his radiant way,
Treads the same path his Saviour trod,
The path to glory and to God. Topics: Activity and Zeal; Activity; Charity; Christians Duties; Church Work of; Consecration Of Possessions; Love For Souls; Missions; Self-Denial; Activity; Charity; Christians Duties; Church Work of; Consecration Of Possessions; Love For Souls; Missions; Self-Denial
