His Example

1This rite our blest Redeemer gave To all in Him believing;
He bids us seek this hallowed grave,
To His example cleaving.

RefrainI'll follow now my glorious Lord,
Whate'er the ties I sever;
He saves my soul,
He's left His word To guide me now and ever.

2For me the cross and shame to bear,
Dear Saviour,
Thou wast willing;
Nor would I shrink Thy yoke to wear,
All righteousness fulfilling.

3Jesus to Thee we yield our all;
In Thy kind arms enfold us;
Our hearts are fixed,— no fears appall,
Thy gracious pow'r shall hold us.
