"And He took bread, and gave thanks, and broke it, and gave unto them, saying, This is My body
which is given for you:this do in remembrance of Me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying,
This cup is the new testament in My blood, which is shed for you" (Luke 22:19,20).
"This do_remember Me!"
O blessed, living Lord,
What depths of grace we now can trace
In that most precious word!
When darker grew Thy path,
When o’er Thee loomed the cross,
With nought down here Thy heart to cheer,
Thou didst remember us!
"This do_remember Me!"
The sword about to wake,
Thy sweat as blood upon Thee stood
When Thou the cup didst take!
There on the altar bound
Wast Thou that night of woe,
When man’s dark hour and Satan’s power
Their deepest gloom did throw!
"This do_remember Me!"
O deep desire of love,
As round Thy soul those waves did roll_
The wrath of God above!
Made sin upon the tree,
What blackness veiled the sky!
What torrents, dread, bowed low Thy head
As Thou for us didst die!
"This do_remember Me!"
O what a savor sweet,
For God above_for man what love_
In all Thy work complete!
Now gathered round Thyself,
With heart and conscience free,
O Lord, once dead, our living Head,
We do remember Thee!
(By George W. Fraser (1830-1896) in Hymns of Grace and Truth.)
