Author: Benjamin Beddome Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #631 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my Saviour, let me be
More perfectly conformed to thee;
Implant each grace, each sin dethrone,
And form my temper like thine own,
And form my temper like thine own.
2 My foe, when hungry, let me feed,
Share in his grief, supply his need;
The haughty frown may I not fear,
But with a lowly meekness bear.
3 Let the envenomed heart and tongue,
The hand outstretched to do me wrong,
Excite no feelings in my breast,
But such as Jesus oft expressed.
4 To others let me always give
What I from others would receive.
Nor, when provoked, with anger burn,
Nor evil word or act return.
5 This will proclaim how bright and fair
The precepts of the gospel are,
And God himself, the God of love,
His own resemblance will approve. Topics: The Christian Godly Life Tune Title: ANDRE
