Can the World See Jesus in You?

Do we live so close to the Lord today,
Passing to and fro on life’s busy way,
That the world in us can a likeness see
To the Man of Calvary?

Refrain

Can the world see Jesus in me?
Can the world see Jesus in you?
Does your love to Him ring true,
And your life and service, too?
Can the world see Jesus in you?

Do we love, with love to His own akin,
All His creatures lost in the mire of sin?
Will we reach a hand, whatsoe’er it cost,
To reclaim a sinner lost?

Refrain

As an open book they our lives will read,
To our words and acts giving daily heed;
Will they be attracted, or turn away
From the Man of Calvary?

Refrain

This hymn is widely attributed to Leila N. Morris (also known as Mrs. C. H. Morris), a prolific early 20th-century gospel hymn writer. The style, refrain, and lyrical themes are characteristic of her work. Some hymnals list it simply as 'L. N. Morris' or anonymous, but the attribution to her is the most common and reliable.
