140 ~ My Blest Redeemer

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 air Witnessed the fervor of Thy prayer; The desert Thy temptations knew, Thy conflict and Thy victory, too.

4

Be Thou my pattern; make me bear More of Thy gracious image here; Then God, the Judge, shall own my name, Among the followers of the Lamb.
