Have
faith in God –
As sinks the dying sun;
Have faith in God –
The days go, one by one;
Have faith in God –
His work will soon be done.
Have faith, dear friend, in God.
According to the Gracious Word
James Montgomery, 1771-1854
For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes. 1 Corinthians 11:26.
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;
The 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;
Yea, 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.
