++++++++++++++++++++++

According to Thy gracious word,

In meek humility,

Thy 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.

+++++

Whom 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.
