ALL VIRTUES SEEN IN CHRIST




Behold where, in the Friend of man,
Appears each grace divine!
The virtues all in Jesus meet,
With mildest radiance shine.


To spread the rays of heavenly light,
To give the mourner joy,
To preach glad tidings to the poor,
Was his divine employ.


Lowly in heart, to all his friends
A friend and servant found,
he washed their feet, he wiped their tears,
And healed each mental wound.


‘midst keen reproach and cruel scorn,
Patient and meek he stood;
His foes ungrateful sought his life;
He laboured for their good.


In the last hour of deep distress,
Before his Father's throne,
With soul resigned, he bowed, and said,
"Thy will, not mine, be done!"


Be Christ our pattern and our guide,
His image may we bear;
Oh, may we tread his sacred steps,
And his bright glories share.


---Alternative verses---


Behold where, in the Friend of man,
Appears each grace divine!
The virtues all in Jesus meet,
With blended radiance shine.


Behold where, in a mortal form,
Appears each grace divine;
The virtues, all in Jesus met,
With mildest radiance shine.


Be Christ our pattern and our guide,
His image may we bear;
Here in his holy footsteps tread,
And then his glory share.


Be Christ our pattern and our guide,
His image may we bear;
Oh, may we tread his sacred steps,
His joy and glory share!


Be Christ our pattern and our guide,
His image may we bear;
Oh, may we tread his holy steps,
His joy and glory share!


When in the hour of deep distress,
Before His Father’s throne,
With soul resigned he bowed and said,
“Thy will, not mine, be done!”


Lowly in heart, to all his friends
A friend and servant found,
he washed their feet, he wiped their tears,
And healed each bleeding wound.


‘Midst keen reproach and cruel scorn,
He meek and patient stood;
His foes, ungrateful, sought his life;
He laboured for their good.
