Hymn 129: According to thy gracious word
HYMN CXXIX.
According to thy gracious word, In humility, This will I do, my dying Lord! I will 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 bloody 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, Will I remember Thee.
And when these failing lips grow dumb, And mind and memory flee, When Thou shalt in Thy Kingdom come, Jesus, remember me.
