In remembrance of the Savior
Author: J. H. Robinson Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #499 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 In remembrance of the Saviour,
And the load he bore for me;
I commemorate his passion,
And his death upon the tree.
2 At the altar lowly kneeling,
Yielding all my soul to God,
I adore my dear Redeemer,
Who alone the wine-press trod.
3 Here I take the sacred emblems
That his broken body gives,
And my heart exults in gladness,
Since for me the Saviour lives.
4 I'm a witness of his dying,
And his rising from the grave--
Of his love for outcast sinners,
And his mighty power to save.
5 Here my faith with brightened vision
Sees the land that's far away,
Where I'll sup again with Jesus,
In the realms of endless day.

John Hiram Robinson
1826 - 1900 Person Name: J. H. Robinson Author of "In remembrance of the Savior" in The Voice of Praise Robinson, John Hiram, D.D. (Ballycassidy, Ireland, March 2, 1826--December 20, 1900). He joined the Wesleyan Methodist Church at the age of sixteen, graduated from the College of Dublin in 1847, and became an itinerant preacher. Coming to the United States in 1852 he stopped in Patterson, New Jersey, on his way to visit relatives in Canada, was invited to preach at the Primitive Methodist Church there, and was at once asked to take the pastorate of that church. He did so and remained there until his death forty-five years later. During the Civil War he served as a chaplain in the Union Army.
Robinson was the author of a number of poems and fugitive pieces. "In remembrance of the Saviour" first appeared in the Voice of Praise, 1872, in five four-line stanzas, then in the Tribute of Praise, 1882, considerably emended, in six stanzas, the additional one being the fourth. It was a very popular communion hymn with the Wesleyan Methodists.
