John 13:23: On his Redeemer's breast reclined

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;
His name, his talents, and his grace,
Lost in — the man by Jesus loved I

I'he 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.
