Text: | Forbid That We Forget |
Author: | Jessie Brown Pounds |
Tune: | [Lord, God, the Ever-Living] |
Composer: | Chas. H. Gabriel |
1 Lord God, the Ever-Living,
On whom men’s hopes are set,
Lord God, the Ever-Loving,
Forbid that we forget!
Refrain:
The place where human sorrow
And heaven’s pity met,—
The cross-tree on the mountain
Forbid that we forget!
2 Forbid that we should ever
Forget a world once lost,
Forget a Christ who rescued,
Forget a rescue’s cost. [Refrain]
3 Thou who the stars hast numbered,
Who rulest earth and sea,
That Thou hast man remembered
Thy crown of praise shall be! [Refrain]
