4 In him our hearts unite, Nor share his grief alone, But from his cross pursue their flight To his triumphant throne. 248. 7s. M. Milman. "They shall look on Him whom they pierced." 1 Bound upon the accursed tree, Faint and bleeding, who is he? By the cheek so pale and wan, By the crown of twisted thorn, By the side so deeply pierced, By the baffled, burning thirst, By the drooping death-dewed brow. Son of man! 'tis thou! 'tis thou! 2 Bound upon the accursed tree, Sad and dying, who is he? By the last and bitter cry, Life breathed out in agony: By the lifeless body laid In the chamber of the dead: Crucified! we know thee now; Son of man! 'tis thou! 'tis thou! 3 Bound upon the accursed tree, Dread and awful, who is he? By the prayer for them that slew, "Lord! they know not what they do;" By the sealed and guarded cave, By the spoiled and empty grave, By that clear, immortal brow, Son of God! 'tis thou! 'tis thou! 249. C. M. Beddome. Following Christ. 1 In duties and in sufferings too, My Lord I feign would trace, As he hath done, so would I do, Sustained by heavenly grace. 2 Inflamed with zeal, 'twas his delight To do his Father's will; May the same zeal my soul excite His precepts to fulfil. 3 Meekness, humility and love Through all his conduct shine; O, may my whole deportment prove A copy, Lord, of thine. 250. 7s. M. Furness. Jesus our Leader. 1 Feeble, helpless, how shall I Learn to live and learn to die? Who, O God, my guide shall be? Who shall lead thy child to thee? 2 Blessed Father, gracious One, Thou hast sent thy holy Son; He will give the light I need, He my trembling steps will lead. 3 Thus in deed, and thought, and word, Led by Jesus Christ the Lord, In my weakness, thus shall I Learn to live and learn to die. 4 Learn to live in peace and love, Like the perfect ones above;-- Learn to die without a fear, Feeling thee, my Father, near. 251. L. M. H. Ballou. Christ's Example in Forgiving. 1 Teach us to feel as Jesus prayed, When on the cross he bleeding hung; When all his foes their wrath displayed, And with their spite his bosom stung. 2 For such a heart and such a love, O Lord, we raise our prayer to thee; O pour thy Spirit from above, That we may like our Saviour be. 252. C. M. Anonymous. God's Servant. 1 Thus saith the Lord who built the heavens, And bade the planets roll, Who peopled all the climes of earth, And formed the human soul:-- 2 "Behold my Servant; see him rise Exalted in my might; Him have I chosen, and in him I place supreme delight.
