Sacramental Hymns.

" This do in remembrance of me."

According to thy gracious word, In meek humility, This will I do my dying Lord, I will remember thee. Thy body broken for my sake,

My bread from heaven shall be, Thy testamental cup I take, And thus remember thee.

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

When to the cross I turn mine eyes And rest on Calvary,

O Lamb of God, my sacrifice! I must remember thee:

Remember thee, and all thy pains, And all thy love to me;

Yes, while a breath, a pulse remains, Will I remember thee.

And when these failing lips grow dumb, And mind and memory flee, When thou shalt in thy kingdom come, Jesus, remember me.

Crucifixion to the World.

When I survey the wondrous cross On which the prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the cross of Christ my God: All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to his blood.
