Consider Him, let Christ thy pattern be

“Consider Him

” let Christ thy pattern be

And know that He hath apprehended thee

To share His very life

His pow’r divine

And in the likeness of thy Lord to shine.

“Consider Him”; so shalt thou

day by day

Seek out the lowliest place

and therein stay

Content to pass away

a thing of nought

That glory to the Father’s name be brought.

Shrink not

O child of God

but fearless go

Down into death with Jesus; thou shalt know

The power of an endless life begin

With glorious liberty from self and sin.

“Consider Him

” and thus thy life shall be

Filled with self-sacrifice and purity;

God will work out in thee the pattern true

And Christ’s example ever keep in view.

“Consider Him

” and as you run the race

Keep ever upward looking in His face;

And thus transformed

illumined thou shalt be

And Christ’s own image shall be seen in thee.
