1 O Jesu Christ, remember,
When Thou shall come again,
Upon the clouds of heaven,
With all thy shining train;
2 When ev'ry eye shall see Thee,
In Deity revealed,
Who now upon this altar
In silence art concealed.
3 Remember then, O Saviour,
I supplicate of Thee,
That here I bowed before Thee
Upon my bended knee;
4 That here I owned thy presence,
And did not Thee deny;
And glorified thy greatness,
Tho' hid from human eye.
5 Accept, divine Redeemer,
The homage of my praise;
Be Thou the light, and honor,
And glory of my days.
6 Be Thou my consolation
When death is drawing nigh:
Be Thou my only Treasure,
Through all eternity.
