1. Kind and patient, perfect in love,

Was Christ, who came down from above.

He took care of our needs

With words and by deeds;

He gave of his time and his love.

He would keep the lowly in mind

By healing the sick, deaf, and blind.

To his royal commission he proved true

And willingly said: “I want to.”

2. We now try to follow his way

In all of our dealings each day.

We are loving and kind

To all whom we find;

We help them to learn and obey.

We respond to friends when in need;

We love them in word and in deed.

So if widows and orphans should ask you,

Then readily say: “I want to.”
