See how He loved! ex­claimed the Jews,
As ten­der tears from Je­sus fell;
My grate­ful heart the thought pur­sues,
And on the theme de­lights to dwell.

See how He loved, who tra­veled on,
Teaching the doc­trine from the skies;
Who bade dis­ease and pain be gone,
And called the sleep­ing dead to rise.

See how He loved, who, firm yet mild,
Patient en­dured the scoff­ing tongue;
Though oft pro­voked, he ne’er re­viled,
Or did His great­est foe a wrong.

See how He loved, who nev­er shrank
From toil or dan­ger, pain or death;
Who all the cup of sor­row drank,
And meek­ly yield­ed up His breath.

Such love can we un­moved sur­vey?
O may our breasts with ar­dor glow
To tread His steps, His laws obey,
And thus our warm af­fect­ions show.
