Hymn

In Memory of the Savior's Love

Metre 8.6.8.6

In mem'ry of the Savior's love,

We keep the sacred feast;

Where ev'ry humble, contrite heart

Is made a welcome guest.

Here let our ransomed pow'rs unite

His honored Name to raise;

Let grateful joy fill ev'ry mind,

And ev'ry voice be praise.

One fold, one faith, one hope, one Lord,

One God alone we know;

Brethren we are; let ev'ry heart

With kind affections glow.

Under His banner thus we sing

The wonders of His love,

And thus anticipate, by faith,

Thy heav'nly feast above.
