ACCORDING TO THY GRACIOUS WORD

According to Thy gracious Word,
In meek humility
This would I do, O Christ my Lord,
I would remember Thee.

Thy body, broken for my sake.
My bread from heaven shall be;
Thy testamental cup I take,
And thus remember Thee.

Gethsemane can I forget?
Or there Thy conflict see,
Thine agony and blood-like sweat,
And not remember Thee?

When to the Cross I turn mine eyes
And rest on Calvary,
O Lamb of God, my sacrifice,
I must remember Thee.

Remember Thee, and all Thy pains,
And all Thy love to me;
Yea, while a breath, a pulse remains,
Would I remember Thee.

And when, O Lord, Thou com’st again
And I Thy glory see,
For ever, as the Lamb once slain,
I will remember Thee.
