Lyics

"Do this," and remember the blood that was shed,

Ere Calvary's victim to slaughter was led:

When, sad and forsaken, the garden alone

Gave ear to his sorrow, and echoed his moan.



Remember the conflict with insult and scorn;

The robe of derision, the chaplet of thorn;

The sin-cleansing fountain that stream'd from his side,

When, "Father, forgive them," he utter'd, and died.



Remember that victor o'er death and the grave:

He liveth for ever, his people to save;

O take, with thanksgiving, this pledge of his love,

The foretaste of rapture eternal, above.
