Verse 1

According to Thy gracious word, In meek humility, This will I do, my dying Lord, I will remember Thee.

Verse 2

Thy body, broken for my sake, My bread from heaven shall be; Thy testamental cup I take, And thus remember Thee.

Verse 3

Gethsemane can I forget? Or there Thy conflict see, Thine agony and bloody sweat, And not remember Thee?

Verse 4

When to the cross I turn mine eyes And rest on Calvary, O Lamb of God, my sacrifice, I must remember Thee-

Verse 5

Remember Thee and all Thy pains And all Thy love to me; Yea, while a breath, a pulse remains, I will remember Thee.

Verse 6

And when these failing lips grow dumb And mind and memory flee, When Thou shalt in Thy kingdom come, Jesus, remember me.
