Whene'er the angry passions rise,
And tempt our thoughts or tongues to strife.
To Jesus let us lift our eyes.
Bright pattern of the Christian life.
O how benevolent and kind!
How mild, how ready to forgive!
Be this the temper of our mind.
And these the rules by which we live.
To do. his heavenly Father's will
Was his employment and dehght;
Humility and holy zeal
Shone through his life divinely bright.
Dispensing good where'er he came,
The labours of his hfe were love;
Then, if we bear the Saviour's name.
By his example let us move.
But, ah! how blind, how weak we are!
How frail, how apt to turn aside!
Lord, we depend upon thy care;
We ask thy Spirit for our guide.
Thy fair example may we trace,
To teach us what we ought to be;
Make us, by thy transforming grace,
O Saviour, daily more like thee.
