Hymn
This Do In Remembrance of Me
If human kindness meets return,
And owns the grateful tie:
If tender thoughts within us burn,
To feel a friend is nigh;
Oh, shall not warmer accents tell
The gratitude we owe
To him, who died our fears to quell
Who bore our guilt and woe!
While yet in anguish he surveyed
Those pangs he would not flee,
What love his latest words displayed,
"Meet and remember me!"
Remember thee thy death, thy shame,
Our sinful hearts to share!
O memory! leave no other name
But his recorded there.
