Son, Remember

1 God sends to all this solemn, earnest warning,
When life is past, the mem’ry lingers yet,
The soul will find, when dawns eternal morning,
The life on earth we never can forget.

Refrain:
O to the saved, in radiant fields of glory,
That word “Remember,” is a victor’s palm;
The toil, and tears, and trials of life’s story,
Become in heav’n the soul’s triumphant psalm.

2 When God so plainly marks the path before us,
The deep remorse and pain of endless woe,
Will be thought, that though his love shone o’er us,
Our willful feet in sinful ways would go. [Refrain]

3 But, there are scenes the soul will joy to cherish,
The kindly deed, the tender word of love,
The helping hand to those who else would perish,
The love for God that leads to joys above. [Refrain]

4 We shall remember hope, and joy, and sorrow,
With clearer sight our Father’s wisdom see;
The faith that brightened every earthly morrow,
Will be a joy thro’ all eternity. [Refrain]
