LyicsIF human kindness meet return,
And own the grateful tie--
If tender thoughts within us burn
To feel a friend is nigh--
O shall not warmer accents tell
The gratitude we owe
To Him who died our fears to quell,
And save from endless woe?
While yet His anguish'd soul survey'd
Those pangs He would not flee,
What love His latest words display'd--
"Meet and remember me!"
Remember Thee! Thy death, Thy shame,
The griefs which Thou didst bear--
O mem'ry, leave no other name
But His recorded there!
