  1. 1Behold, where in a mortal form
  2. Appears each grace divine!
  3. The virtues, all in Jesus met,
  4. With mildest radiance shine.
  5. 2To spread the rays of heavenly light,
  6. To give the mourner joy,
  7. To preach glad tidings to the poor,
  8. Was His divine employ.
  9. 3'Midst keen reproach and cruel scorn,
  10. Patient and meek He stood.
  11. His foes, ungrateful, sought His life;
  12. He labored for their good.
  13. 4In the last hours of deep distress,
  14. Before His Father's throne,
  15. With soul resigned He bowed, and said,
  16. "Thy will, not mine, be done!"
  17. 5Be Christ our Pattern and our Guide!
  18. His image may we bear!
  19. O may we tread His holy steps,
  20. His joys and glory share!
  21. 6Amen.
