Author: Hart Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #829 (1844) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: That doleful night before his death Lyrics: 1 That doleful night before his death,
The Lamb, for sinners slain,
Did almost with his latest breath
This solemn feast ordain.
2 To keep thy feast, Lord, are we met,
And to remember thee;
Help each poor trembler to repeat,
“For me he died, for me.”
3 Thy sufferings, Lord, each sacred sign
To our remembrance brings;
We eat the bread and drink the wine,
But think on nobler things.
4 O tune our tongues, and set in frame
Each heart that pants to thee,
To sing, “Hosanna to the Lamb,
The Lamb that died for me!”
