I Will Remember Thee

1 According to Thy gracious word,  
In meek humility,  
This will I do, my dying Lord;  
I will remember Thee.  

2 Thy body, broken for my sake,  
My bread from heav'n shall be;  
Thy testamental cup I take  
And thus remember Thee.  

3 When to the cross I turn mine eyes  
And rest on Calvary,  
O Lamb of God, my sacrifice,  
I must remember Thee.  

4 Remember Thee and all Thy pains  
And all Thy love to me;  
Yea, while a breath, a pulse remains,  
Will I remember Thee.  

5 And when these failing lips grow dumb  
And mind and mem'ry flee,  
When Thou shalt in Thy kingdom come,  
Jesus, remember me!
