According to Thy Gracious Word

According to Thy gracious Word,

In meek humility,

This will I do, my dying Lord,

I will remember Thee.

Thy Body, broken for my sake,

My bread from heaven shall be;

Thy testamental cup I take,

And thus remember Thee.

Gethsemane can I forget?

Or there Thy conflict see,

Thine agony and bloody sweat,

And not remember Thee?

When to the Cross I turn mine eyes,

And rest on Calvary,

O Lamb of God, my Sacrifice!

I must remember Thee.

Remember Thee, and all Thy pains,

And all Thy love to me;

Yes, while a breath, a pulse remains,

Will I remember Thee.

And when these failing lips grow dumb,

And mind and memory flee,

When Thou shalt in Thy kingdom come,

Jesus, remember me.

Amen.
