- 1How beauteous were the marks divine
- That in Thy meekness used to shine
- That lit Thy lonely pathway, trod
- In wondrous love, O Son of God.
- 2O who like Thee, so calm, so bright,
- Thou Son of man, Thou Light of Light;
- O who like Thee did ever go
- So patient through a world of woe?
- 3O who like Thee so humbly bore
- The scorn, the scoffs of men before?
- So meek, forgiving, Godlike, high,
- So glorious in humility!
- 4And all Thy life's unchanging years,
- A man of sorrows and of tears,
- The cross, where all our sins were laid,
- Upon Thy bending shoulders weighed.
- 5And death, that sets the prisoner free,
- Was pang and scoff and scorn to Thee;
- Yet love through all Thy torture glowed,
- And mercy with Thy life-blood flowed.
- 6O in Thy light be mine to go,
- Illuming all this way of woe;
- And give me ever on the road
- To trace Thy footsteps, Son of God!
