Hymn 492
According to Thy gracious word
Meter: C.M.
Scripture: Luke 22:19
1
According to Thy gracious word,
In meek humility,
This will I do, my dying Lord,
I will remember thee.
2
Thy body broken for my sake,
My bread from heaven shall be;
The testimonial cup I take,
And thus remember thee.
3
Gethsemane can I forget?
Or there Thy conflicts see,
Thine agony and bloody sweat,
And not remember thee?
4
When to the cross I turn my eyes,
And rest on Calvary,
O lamb of God, my sacrifice,
I must remember thee.
5
Remember thee and all Thy pains,
And all Thy love to me;
Yea, while a breath, a pulse remains,
Will I remember thee.
6
And when these failing lips grow dumb,
And mind and memory flee,
When thou shalt in Thy Kingdom come,
Jesus, remember me.
