Our Great Redeemer's Praise ‎#238

238. According to Thy Gracious Word

1 According to Thy gracious word,
in meek humility,
this will I do, my dying Lord:
I will remember Thee.

2 Thy body, broken for my sake,
my bread from heaven shall be;
Thy testamental cup I take,
and thus remember Thee.

3 When to the cross I turn mine eyes
and rest on Calvary,
O Lamb of God, my sacrifice,
I must remember Thee.

4 Remember Thee and all Thy pains
and all Thy love to me;
yea, while a breath, a pulse remains,
will I remember Thee.

5 And when these failing lips grow dumb
and mind and mem'ry flee,
when Thou shalt in Thy kingdom come,
Jesus, remember me!
