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.
