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; The testamental cup I take, And thus remember Thee.
Gethsemane can I forget? Can I such conflict see, Thine agony of blood and 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.
James Montgomery, 1771-1854
