Lord Jesus Christ, we would remember Thee,
|
|
| 1. | Lord Jesus Christ, we would remember Thee, |
| | As, on the table, we the emblems see; |
| | Thy holy body shadowed in the bread, |
| | Thy precious blood is in the cup portrayed. |
| 2. | Lord, we adore Thee for Thy matchless grace, |
| | That Thou, for us, didst take the servant's |
| | place; |
| | >From Godhead's glory to the shameful tree, |
| | >From weath, so vast, to abject poverty! |
| 3. | O Lamb of God, we join to bless Thy name, |
| | That Thou, on Calv'ry, bore our sin and |
| | shame; |
| | And, by Thy death, didst put our guilt away, |
| | Triumphant rose, our night to turn to day. |
| 4. | We see Thee now, at God's right hand |
| | enthroned, |
| | Vested with honor and with glory crowned; |
| | Blessed Redeemer, Savior, Lord, to Thee |
| | Be all the glory, pow'r and majesty! |
