1

Jesus, thy love shall we forget,And never bring to mindThe grace that paid our hopeless debt,And bade us pardon find?

2

Shall we thy life of grief forget,Thy fasting and thy prayer,Thy locks with mountain vapors wet,To save us from despair?

3

Gethsemane can we forget—Thy struggling agonyWhen night lay dark on Olivet,And none to watch with thee?

4

Our sorrows and our sins were laidOn thee, alone on thee;Thy precious blood our ransom paid—Thine all the glory be!

About this hymn

As printed Words only. As printed: hymn number «327» (large) in the left column of p. 108, below hymn 326 (CHINA. C. M.), with the reference line «120, 546, 204.» (italic) beside it; «Wm. Mitchell.» in italics after stanza 4. The first word «JESUS» is set in capitals and small capitals. The print sets a thin space before «?» and «;» («find ?», «despair ?», «thee ?», «thee ;»); it is closed up here. Spelling («vapors»), punctuation and capitals are the print's. No meter is printed (the text is C. M., like its three reference tunes).
