On that same night, Lord Jesus,
|
|
| 1. | On that same night, Lord Jesus, |
| | When all around Thee joined |
| | To cast its darkest shadow |
| | Across Thy holy mind, |
| | We hear Thy voice, blest Savior, |
| | "This do, remember me", |
| | With grateful hearts responding, |
| | We do remember Thee. |
| 2. | The depth of all Thy suffering |
| | No heart could e'er conceive, |
| | The cup of wrath o'erflowing |
| | For us Thou didst receive; |
| | And, oh, of God forsaken |
| | On the accursŠd tree; |
| | With grateful hearts, Lord Jesus, |
| | We now remember Thee. |
| 3. | We think of all the darkness |
| | Which round Thy spirit pressed, |
| | Of all those waves and billows, |
| | Which rolled across Thy breast. |
| | Oh, there Thy grace unbounded |
| | And perfect love we see; |
| | With joy and sorrow mingling, |
| | We would remember Thee. |
| 4. | We know Thee now as risen, |
| | The Firstborn from the dead; |
| | We see Thee now ascended, |
| | The Church's glorious Head. |
| | In Thee by grace accepted, |
| | The heart and mind set free |
| | To think of all Thy sorrow, |
| | And thus remember Thee. |
| 5. | Till Thou shalt come in glory, |
| | And call us hence away, |
| | To rest in all the brightness |
| | Of that unclouded day, |
| | We how Thy death, Lord Jesus, |
| | And here would seek to be |
| | More to Thy death conformŠd, |
| | While we remember Thee. |
