Author: William Enfield

Notes

Behold, where in a mortal form [the Friend of Man] . W. Enfield. [Christ our Example.] Appeared in the 3rd edition of his Hymns for Public Worship, &c, 1797, in 8 stanzas of 4 lines. It passed from thence into Bickersteth's Christian Psalmody, 1833, Reed's Hymn-Book, 1842, and others. In the Baptist New Selection, 1828, No. 120, it was given as, “Behold, where in the Friend of Man," with the omission of stanza ii., and in this form it is found in the Baptist Psalms & Hymns, 1858. The hymn is also in common use in America. The first form, abbreviated, is in Songs for the Sanctuary, N. Y., 1865, and the second is in Hymns & Songs of Praise, N. Y., 1874, and others.
