Chalice Hymnal ‎#402

402. According to Thy Gracious Word

1 According to thy gracious word,
in meek humility,
this will I do, my dying Lord,
I will remember thee.

2 The body, broken for my sake,
my bread from heaven 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 I shall remember all thy pain,
and all thy love to me;
when thou shalt come again and reign,
Jesus, remember me.
