| Text: | Can We Forget? |

| Composer: | Timothy Swan |
1 Jesus, thy love can we forget,
And never bring to mind
The grace that paid our hopeless debt,
And bade us pardon find?
2 Shall we thy life of grief forget,
Thy fasting and thy pray'r,
Thy locks with mountain vapors wet,
To save us from despair?
3 Gethsemane can we forget
Thy struggling agony
When night lay dark on Olivet,
And none to watch with thee?
4 Our sorrows and our sins were laid
On Thee, alone on thee;
Thy precious blood our ransom paid
Thine all the glory be!
