A Hymn, on Our Lord and Saviour

Our frailties long he deign'd to share, The heir of heaven—of pain the heir; By miracles his power was tried; He taught, he suffered—groaned and died.

He lived—that man might live in peace; He died—that sin and death might cease; He rose—to prove to hell's fierce powers, Blest immortality is ours.

Oh! may we strive like him to live; Our friends esteem—our foes forgive; Our country love—our God adore; Till sin and death shall be no more!
