In Remembrance Of Thy Suffering (Choir)
In Remembrance Of Thy Suffering (Choir)
1. In remembrance of thy suffering,Lord, these emblems we partake,When thyself thou gavest an offering,Dying for the sinner’s sake.We’ve forgiven as thou biddestAll who’ve trespassed against us.Lord, forgive, as we’ve forgiven,All thou seest amiss in us.
2. Purify our hearts, our Savior;Let us go not far astray,That we may be counted worthyOf thy Spirit day by day.When temptations are before us,Give us strength to overcome;Always guard us in our wand’ringsTill we leave our earthly home.
3. When thou comest in thy gloryTo this earth to rule and reign,And with faithful ones partakestOf the bread and wine again,May we be among the numberWorthy to surround the board,And partake anew the emblemsOf the sufferings of our Lord.
