1. In duties and in sufferings too
My Lord! I’d follow thee;
As thou hast done, so would I do:
As thou art, would I be.
2. With zeal inflamed, twas thy delight
To do thy Father’s will;
My equal zeal my soul excite
Thy precepts to fulfill.
3. Meekness, humility, and love,
Did through thy conduct shine;
Oh, may my whole deportment prove
A copy, Lord, of thine!
4. Depending on thy sovereign grace,
I’ll tread the heavenly road;
With willing mind thy footsteps trace,
And climb to thine abode.
William Parkinson, A Selection of Hymns and Spiritual Songs, New York, 1809
