The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal ‎#327

327. According to Thy Gracious Word

1 According to Thy gracious word,
In meek humility,
This will I do, my dying Lord,
I will remember Thee.

2 Thy body, broken for my sake,
My bread from heaven shall be;
Thy testamental cup I take,
And thus remember Thee.

3 Remember Thee, and all Thy pains,
And all Thy love to me;
Yea, while a breath, a pulse remains,
Will I remember Thee!

4 And when these falling lips grow dumb,
And mind and memory flee,
When Thou shalt in Thy Kingdom come,
Then, Lord, remember me!

AMEN.
