When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay

Author: Thomas Gibbons Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #634 (1886) Lyrics: 1 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? 2 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. 3 That man may last, but never lives, Who much receives, but nothing gives; Whom none can love, whom none can thank, Creation's blot, creation's blank! 4 But he who marks, from day to day, In generous acts his radiant way, Treads the same path his Saviour trod, The path to glory and to God.
