We should possess the Savior's mind

Verse 1

We should possess the Saviour's mind, Like him be humble, meek and kind; Esteem the world as filth and dross, And be resign'd to bear the cross.

Verse 2

All pow'r and glory is his own, But yet he left his heav'nly throne-- He came, and gave himself to be, Expos'd to pain and misery.

Verse 3

On Calvery he groan'd and bled, Until he bow'd his sacred head! He died in sorrow, grief and pain, But by his pow'r he rose again.

Verse 4

He hath ascended up on high! He reigns above, beyond the sky-- And ev'ry knee to him shall bow, In heav'n above, and earth below.

Verse 5

Immortal honors there he claims! His name exceeds all other names: None such on earth, or yet in heav'n As that which god to him has giv'n.

Verse 6

Not Men or Angels e'er can raise, Such notes as fully sound his praise; Yet let us join with them to sing the praises of the Lord our King.
