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;Thy testamental cup I take,And thus remember thee.

3

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

4

When to the cross I turn mine 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.
