H-163In Remembrance

On this Lord's day we assemble round the table of the Lord;

happy hearts are made to tremble when we hear his blessed word.

We recall his broken body as we look upon the bread;

"give ye thanks divide and eat it in my memory," he said.

And this crimson cup reminds us of that dread scene long ago,

when He died in pain and anguish, there the blood was made to flow.

There in agony He suffered on the cross for you and me;

now upon the throne He's reigning, blessed lamb of calvary.

Thanks to God for such a savior now enthroned in heav'n above;

thanks for this exalted favor, blest memorial of His love.
