Blessèd Redeemer, How Divine

Blessèd Re­deem­er

how di­vine

How right­eous is this rule of Thine!

To do to all men just the same

As we ex­pect or wish from them.

This gold­en les­son

short and plain

Gives not the mind nor me­mo­ry pain

And ev­ery con­science must ap­prove

This uni­vers­al law of love.

How blessed would ev­ery na­tion be

Thus ruled by love and eq­ui­ty!

All would be friends with­out a foe

And form a para­dise below.

Jesus

for­give us

that we keep

Thy sacr­ed law of love asleep;

No more let en­vy

wrath and pride

But Thy bless­ed max­ims be our guide.
