When all around Thee joined
To cast its darkest shadow
Across Thy holy mind,
We hear Thy voice, blest Savior,
“This do, remember me”,
With grateful hearts responding,
We do remember Thee.
No heart could e’er conceive,
The cup of wrath o’erflowing
For us Thou didst receive;
And, oh, of God forsaken
On the accursed tree;
With grateful hearts, Lord Jesus,
We now remember Thee.
Which round Thy spirit pressed,
Of all those waves and billows,
Which rolled across Thy breast.
Oh, there Thy grace unbounded
And perfect love we see;
With joy and sorrow mingling,
We would remember Thee.
The Firstborn from the dead;
We see Thee now ascended,
The Church’s glorious Head.
In Thee by grace accepted,
The heart and mind set free
To think of all Thy sorrow,
And thus remember Thee.
And call us hence away,
To rest in all the brightness
Of that unclouded day,
We show Thy death, Lord Jesus,
And here would seek to be
More to Thy death conformed,
While we remember Thee.

This was even more painful than the crown of thorns on His head and the wounds and stripes on His body. Isaiah 53:5 says, “He was wounded because of our transgressions; / He was crushed because of our iniquities. ” Who says that forgiveness is cheap? Those who have been taught by grace sing with tears and thankfulness:

I am so touched by this hymn

I seldom ever call a song at the Table meeting. Today I am studying hymns for the table. This is the first for Remembering the Lord. And yes, more to thy death. Conformed as we remember Thee.

I called this song as the first song at today's Lord's Table, and I thought that it had a very good effect to focus the meeting on the Lord Himself and what He suffered for us right from the start.
