SPIRIT OF JESUS.

O, not to crush with abject fear The burdened soul of man, Did Jesus on the earth appear, And open heaven's high plan; He came to bid us find repose, And God his Father know: And thus with love to raise up those Who once were bowed low.
O, not in coldness nor in pride His holy path he trod; 'Twas his delight to turn aside And win the lost to God; And unto sorrowing guilt disclose The fount whence peace shall flow; And thus with love to raise up those That once were bowed low.
O, not with cold, unfeeling eye Did he the suffering view; Nor on the other side pass by, And deem their tears untrue; 'Twas joy to him to heal their woes, And heaven's sweet refuge show; And thus with love to raise up those That once were bowed low.
