ACCORDING TO THY GRACIOUS WORD

[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.

[6]
And when these failing lips grow dumb,
and mind and memory flee,
when thou shalt in thy kingdom come,
then Lord remember me.
