According to Thy Gracious Word

Music by John Bacchus Dykes, words by James Montgomery


According to Thy gracious Word,
In meek humility,
This will I do, O Christ my Lord,
I will remember Thee.

Thy body, broken for my sake,
My bread from heaven shall be;
Thy cup of blessing I will take,
And thus remember Thee.

Remember Thee, and all Thy pains,
And all Thy love to me;
Yes, while a breath, a pulse remains,
I must remember Thee.

And when, O Lord, Thou com'st again
And I Thy glory see;
Forever as the Lamb once slain,
I will remember Thee.
