8.6.8.6 James Montgomery "This do in remembrance of Me." -- Luke xxii.19. 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; Thy 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. |
