242		LM
	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 fervour of Thy prayer; The desert Thy temptations knew, Thy conflict, and Thy victory too.
4	Be Thou my pattern; make me bear More of Thy gracious image here; Then God the Judge shall own my name Amongst the followers of the Lamb.
	Isaac Watts, 1674-1748
