[On his Redeemer's breast reclined]

Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom, &c. —xiii. 23.

On his Redeemer's breast reclined,
And taken up with Christ alone,
No more he calls himself to mind,
By nought but Jesus' kindness known;
Regardless of reproach and praise,
If blamed by mortals or approved;

507

His name, his talents, and his grace,
Lost in—the man by Jesus loved!
The modest man, the meek in heart
May still be dignified and bless'd
With the beloved disciple's part,
May with his dear Redeemer rest:
And those that their own name forget,
Cast their ambitious pride away,
And lay themselves at Jesus' feet,
Jesus will in His bosom lay.
