201. According to Thy Gracious Word

1 According to Thy gracious word,
In meek humility,
This will I do, my loving 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 Thee.

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;
Yea, 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!
