Our Example

By E. F. Johnstone, LL.M.

By E. F. Johnstone, LL.M.
To LIVE as lived the Son of Man Is surely gracious Heaven's plan For mortals, one and all; His character we should portray In all we think and do and say, In matters great and small.
His love and kindness we should show To sinners everywhere we go, His mercy and His grace; And His sublime unselfishness Our lives should mightily express To all the human race.
As He received the sinful wretch, So we our hands should gladly stretch To help the sinner rise; For we to Him as sinful came, With just as great a load of shame, And Jesus heard our cries.
Forgive our brother? Yea, forgive; If we expect with Christ to live, We never shall condemn; Who dares forgiveness to withhold Shall never walk the streets of gold In New Jerusalem.
Let every heir of God be bold To men God's message to unfold; And may his life agree With truth he preaches day by day; And, brother, as for you I pray, I beg you pray for me.
