Holy Communion: The Communion 320. According to thy gracious word
C.M.
[1230]St. Magnus (Clark):
Jeremiah Clark, c.1709
James Montgomery, 1825
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 heaven shall be;
The cup, thy precious Blood, 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.
And when these failing lips grow dumb,
And mind and memory flee,
When thou shalt in thy kingdom come,
Then, Lord, remember me.
Amen.
