When Jesus Dwelt in Mortal Clay

When Je­sus dwelt in mortal clay

What were His works

from day to day

But miracles of power and grace

That spread sal­va­tion through our race?

At his command

from rayless night

Redeemed

the blind receive their sight

The deaf in rapture hear His voice

The dumb in songs of praise rejoice.

Teach us

O Lord

to keep in view

Thy pattern

and Thy steps pursue;

Let alms bestowed

let kindness done

Be witnessed by each rolling sun.

Teach us to mark

from day to day

In generous acts our radiant way

Tread the same path our Sav­ior trod

The path to glo­ry and to God.
