My blest Redeemer and my Lord
1
My blest Redeemer and my Lord.I read my duty in thy word;But in thy life the law appears,Drawn out in living characters.
2
What truth and love thy bosom fill!What zeal to do thy Father's will!Such zeal, and truth, and love divine,I would transcribe, and make them mine.
3
Cold mountains and the midnight airWitnessed the fervor of thy prayer;The desert thy temptations knew,Thy conflict, and thy victory too.
4
Be thou my pattern; make me bearMore of thy gracious image here;Then God, the Judge, shall own my nameAmong the followers of the Lamb.
