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.
