Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #119 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) Lyrics: 1 How beauteous were the marks divine
That in Thy meekness used to shine,
That lit Thy lonely pathway, trod
In wondrous love, O Son of God!
2 Oh, who like Thee, so calm, so bright,
So pure, so made to live in light?
Oh, who like Thee did ever go
So patient through a world of woe?
3 E'en death, which sets the prisoner free,
Was pang, and scoff, and scorn to Thee;
Yet love through all Thy torture glow'd,
And mercy with Thy life-blood flow'd.
4 Oh, in Thy light be mine to go,
Illuming all this way of woe!
And give me ever on the road
To trace Thy footsteps, Son of God! Topics: Christ a Pattern; Example of Christ; Following Christ; Forbearance; Forgiveness Of Offences; Fruits of the Spirit meekness and humility; Gentleness; Imitiation of Christ; Likeness to God and Christ; Patience; Christ our Pattern Languages: English
