quote · Words worth keeping
Remember thee! remember Christ! While mem’ry holds her place, Can we forget the Lord of Life, Who saves us by his grace? The Lord of Life, with glory crown’d, On heaven’s exalted throne, Forgets not those for whom on earth He heav’d his dying groan. The promis’d joy he then obtain’d When he ascended hence, Up from the grave to God’s right hand A Saviour and a prince! His glory now no tongue of man Or seraph bright can tell: Yet still the chief of all his joys, That souls are saved from hell. For this he came and dwelt on earth; For this his life was given; For this he fought and vanquished death, For this he pleads in heav’n! Join, all ye saints beneath the sky, Your grateful praise to give: Sing loud hosannas to the Lord, Who died that you might live.
