Remember, Christian, what thou wast,
When guilty and undone,
Before God's Spirit picked thee up,
And led thee to His Son.

Remember, Christian, whose thou art,
And how thou hast been saved;
Thou art the purchase of His blood,
Who death's dark billows braved.

Remember always thou art His,
And His forevermore;
The threatenings of the judgment day
Shall trouble thee no more.

Remember too that thou art here
To live for Him who died,
That by thy stay upon the earth,
He may be glorified.

Remember, Christian, that this world
Against thee stands arrayed;
If thou dost in the battle stand,
Thou must by grace be stayed.

Remember also Satan's power,
And ever watch and pray;
Distrust thyself, but trust in Christ,
He'll lead thee all the way.

Remember, Christian, too, thy flesh
Doth seek thine overthrow;
But keep it in the place of death,
And humbly onward go.

Then learn to cherish His own words,
Before He died for thee:
He blessed the bread and wine and said,
" This do, remember Me ! "

Remember, Christian, He will come,
And take thee to His home;
Then, in this dreary wilderness,
Thy feet no more shall roam.
Remember, Christian, thou wilt be
Forever with thy Lord;
Then may thy whole demeanor here
With these great truths accord.
