Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #CXXIV (1789) Lyrics: 1 Behold where, breathing love divine,
Our dying Master stands!
His weeping followers, gathering round,
Receive his last commands.
2 From that mild Teacher's parting lips
What tender accents fell!
The gentle precept which he gave
Became its Author well.
3 Blest is the man, whose soft'ning heart
Feels all another's pain;
To whom the supplicating eye
Was never rais'd in vain:
4 Whose breast expands with generous warmth,
A stranger's woe to feel;
And bleeds in pity o'er the wound
He wants the power to heal.
5 To gentle offices of love
His feet are never slow;
He views, thro' mercy's melting eye,
A brother in a foe.
6 To him protection shall be shewn,
And mercy from above
Descend on those who thus fulfil
The perfect law of love. Topics: Faith, Holiness and moral Virtues Love to Mankind recommended by Christ Languages: English
