Reverently and Meekly Now
Reverently and Meekly Now
1. Rev’rently and meekly now
Let thy head most humbly bow;
Think of me, thou ransomed one;
Think what I for thee have done.
2. In this bread now blest for thee,
Emblem of my body see;
In this water or this wine,
Emblem of my blood divine.
3. Bid thine heart all strife to cease;
With thy brethren be at peace;
O forgive, as thou wouldst be
E’en forgiven now by me.
4. At the throne I intercede;
For thee ever do I plead;
I have loved thee as thy friend,
With a love that cannot end.
