According to Thy Gracious Word

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 550 hymnals Lyrics: 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 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 memory flee, When Thou shalt in Thy kingdom come, Jesus, remember me!

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Why should we tremble to convey The Christian to the tomb? There once the flesh of Jesus lay, And left a long perfume. 2 The graves of all his saints he blest, And softened every bed; Where should the dying members rest, But with their dying Head? 3 Thence he arose, ascending high, And showed our feet the way: Up to the Lord we all shall fly At the great rising day. 4 Then let the last trumpet sound, And bid our kindred rise: Awake, ye nations under ground; Ye saints, ascend the skies.
