Text: | According to Thy Gracious Word |
Author: | Rev. James Montgomery |
Tune: | HARVEY'S CHANT |
Composer: | William B. Bradbury |
1 According to Thy gracious word,
In meek humility,
This will I do, my dying Lord:
I will remember Thee,
I will remember Thee.
2 Thy body, broken for my sake,
My bread from heaven shall be;
The testamental cup I take,
And thus remember Thee,
And thus remember Thee.
3 Gethsemane can I forget?
Or there Thy conflict see,
Thine agony and bloody sweat,
And not remember Thee,
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,
I must remember Thee.
5 And when these failing lips grow dumb,
And mind and memory flee,
When Thou shalt in Thy kingdom come,
Then, Lord, remember me,
Then, Lord, remember me.
