Reverently and Meekly Now (Male Chorus)
Reverently and Meekly Now (Male Chorus)
1. Reverently and meekly nowLet thy head most humbly bow.Think of me thou ransomed one,Think what I for thee have doneWith my blood that dripped like rain,Sweat in agony of pain.With my body on the treeI have ransomed even thee.
2. In this bread now blest for thee,Emblem of my body see;In this water or this wine,Emblem of my blood divine.Oh, remember what was doneThat the sinner might be won.On the cross of CalvaryI have suffered death for thee.
3. Bid thine heart all strife to cease;With thy brethren be at peace.Oh, forgive, as thou wouldst beE’en forgiven now by me.In the solemn faith of prayerCast upon me all thy care,And my spirit’s grace shall beLike a fountain unto thee.
4. At the throne I intercede.For thee ever do I plead.I have loved thee as thy friendWith a love that cannot end.Be obedient, I implore,Prayerful, watchful, evermore,And be constant unto meThat thy Savior I may be.
