According To Thy Gracious Word

According to Thy gracious Word,
in meek humility,
this will I do, my dying Lord,
I will remember Thee.

Thy body, broken for my sake,
my Bread from Heav'n shall be;
The 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.
