Remember me.
Jesus, thou art the sinner’s friend;
As such I look to thee;
Now, in the fullness of thy love,
O Lord, remember me!
2 Remember thy pure word of grace,
Remember Calvary;
Remember all thy promises,
And then remember me.
3 Thou mighty Advocate with God!
I yield myself to thee;
While thou art sitting on thy throne,
O Lord, remember me!
4 I own I’m guilty—own I’m vile;
Yet thy salvation’s free;
Then, in thy all-abounding grace,
O Lord, remember me!
5 Howe’er forsaken or distressed,
Howe’er oppressed I be,
Howe’er afflicted here on earth,
Do thou remember me!
6 And when I close my eyes in death,
And creature helps all flee,
Then, O my great Redeemer, Lord,
I pray, remember me!
242 C. M.
An unchangeable priesthood.
Heb. 7:24.
Jesus, in thee our eyes behold
A thousand glories more
Than the rich gems and polished gold
The sons of Aaron wore.
2 They first their own burnt-offerings brought
To purge themselves from sin:
Thy life was pure, without a spot,
And all thy nature clean.
3 Fresh blood, as constant as the day,
Was on their altar spilt;
But thy one offering takes away
For ever all our guilt.
4 Their priesthood ran through several hands,
For mortal was their race;
Thy never-changing office stands
Eternal as thy days.
5 Once, in the circuit of a year,
With blood, but not his own,
Aaron with the vail appeared
Before the golden throne;
6 But Christ, with his own precious blood,
Ascends above the skies,
And in the presence of our God
Shows his own sacrifice.
7 Jesus, the King of glory, reigns
On Zion’s holy hill;
Looks like a lamb that had been slain,
And wears his priesthood still.
8 He ever lives in heaven to plead
The cause which cost his blood,
And saves unto the utmost those
Who by him come to God.
243 C. M.
He is Lord of all.
Acts 10:36.
Hosanna to our conquering King!
All hail incarnate Love!
Ten thousand songs and glories wait
To crown thy head above.
2 Thy victories and thy deathless fame
Through all the world shall run,
And everlasting ages sing
The triumphs thou hast won.
244 C. M.
Grace is poured into thy lips.
Psalm 45:2.
O Jesus! King most wonderful!
Thou Conqueror renowned!
Thou Sweetness most ineffable!
In whom all joys are found.
