452 HYMNS.
Lowly, meek in thought and word,
Altogether like our Lord.
4 Let us each for other care.
Each the other’s burden bear ;
To thy church a pattern give.
Show how true believers live.
5 Let us then with joy remove
To thy family above,
On the wings of angels fly,
Show how true believers die.

The same.
1 TTAIL, everlasting Prince of peace!
Hail, Governor divine!
How gracious is thy sceptre’s sway 1
What gentle laws are thine !
2 Thy tender heart with love o’erflow’d.
Love spoke in ev’ry breath,
Vig’rous it reign’d through all thy life.
And triumph’d in thy death.
3 All these united charms how strong
Our stubborn hearts to move !
And this the proof of love to thee,
“ That we each other love.”
4 O be the sacred law fulfill’d
In ev’ry act and thought:
Each angry passion far remov’d.
Each selfish view forgot.
5 Be all our hearts dilated wide
By our Redeemer’s grace.
And in one grasp of fervent love.
His fbll’wers all embrace.
