Text: | That Solemn Night |
Author: | Joseph Hart |
Tune: | ARLINGTON |
Composer: | Thomas A. Arne |
1 That solemn night before His death,
The Lamb, for sinners slain,
Did, almost with His dying breath,
This solemn feast ordain.
2 To keep the feast, Lord, we have met,
And to remember Thee;
Help each poor trembler to repeat,
For me He died, for me!
3 Thy sufferings, Lord, each sacred sign
To our remembrance brings;
We eat the bread and drink the wine,
But think on nobler things.
4 O tune our tongues, and set in frame
Each heart that pants for Thee,
To sing, Hosanna to the Lamb,
The Lamb that died for me.
Amen.
