Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A Plymouth Brethren communion hymn written by James George Deck in 1841, meditating on Christ's atoning sacrifice, His blood-like suffering, and His ongoing intercession as High Priest in heaven. It calls believers to remember their redemption and their unity in Him.
Verse 1
Lord, we would ne'er forget Thy love,
Who hast redeemed us by Thy blood;
And now, as our High Priest above.
Dost intercede for us with God.
Verse 2
Lord, we would not forget the pain,
The blood-like sweat, the shameful tree,
The wrath Thy soul did once sustain
From sin and death to set us free.
Verse 3
We would remember we are one
With every saint that loves Thy Name;
United to Thee on the throne,
Our life, our hope, our Lord the same.
Verse 4
Here, in the broken bread and wine,
We hear Thee say, Remember Me!
I gave My life to ransom thine,
I bore the wrath to set thee free.
Verse 5
Lord, we are Thine, we praise Thy love,
One with Thy saints, all one in Thee;
We would, until we meet above,
In all our ways remember Thee.
