My Dear Redeemer and My Lord

Line
Melody - "Federal Street," Henry Kemble Oliver, 1832
Line

Isaac Watts, 1674-1748

My dear Redeemer and my Lord,
I read my duty in Thy Word;
But in Thy life the law appears,
Drawn out in living characters.

2. Such was Thy truth, and such Thy zeal,
Such deference to Thy Father's will,
Such love and meekness so 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
Thy gracious image everywhere;
Help me, dear Lord, Thy love t show
To all who journey here below.
