My Dear Redeemer And My Lord Lyrics

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.
