That Doleful Night Before His Death

Author: Joseph Hart Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 171 hymnals Lyrics: 1 That doleful 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!"
