Text: | According to Thy Gracious Word |
Author: | James Montgomery |
Tune: | DUNDEE |
1 According to Thy gracious word
In meek humility,
This will I do, my dying Lord,
I will remember Thee.
2 The body, broken for my sake,
My bread from heav'n shall be;
Thy testamental cup I take,
And thus remember Yhee.
3 Gethsemane can I forget,
Or there Thy conflict see,
Thine agony and bloody sweat,
And not remember Thee?
4 When to the cross I turn mine eyes
And rest on Calvary,
O Lamb of God, my sacrifice,
I must remember Thee.
5 Remember Thee, and all Thy pains,
And all Thy love to me;
Yes, while a breath, a pulse remains,
Will I remember Thee.
6 And when these failing lips grow dumb,
And mind and mem'ry flee,
When Thou shalt in Thy kingdom come,
Jesus, remember me.
