Our Example

Author: Steele Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CLXVI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Our Example; Christ Example; Example of Christ First Line: And is the gospel peace and love? Lyrics: 1 And is the gospel, peace and love? Such let our conversation be: The serpent blended with the dove, Wisdom and meek simplicity. 2 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! 3 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. 4 To do his heavenly Father's will, Was his employment and delight; Humility and holy zeal Shone thro' his life divinely bright! 5 Dispensing good where'er he came, The labors of his life were love; O, if we love the Savior's name, Let his divine example move. 6 But ah how blind! how weak we are! How frail! how apt to turn aside! Lord, we depend upon thy care, And ask thy spirit for our guide. 7 Thy fair example may we trace, To teach us what we ought to be; Make us by thy transforming grace, Dear Savior, daily more like thee.
