Remembrances - (Nos. 1-3)
Being Short Meditations on the Lord's Supper, written in Free Verse.

_______

1. In sweet remembrance of our King,

The Song of Songs we sing; (Song of Solomon 1:1)
Gazing upon Him, who was once crucified,

We show forth our adoration and love:
In everlasting praises to Him!

"Which is, and which was, and
Which is to come, the Almighty." (Rev. 1:8b)

2. By faith let us go forth therefore,
Unto Him outside the camp,
Bearing His reproach,
The reproach of the cross;
Christ our Altar and Sacrifice,

Who suffered without the gate,

To sanctify us with His own blood; (Heb. 13)
Our Great High Priest and Head,
Bishop of our souls, ever living the same, (Heb. 1:12; 13:8)
Seated at the Majesty's right hand on high. (Heb. 1:3)

3. Of Thy love, Lord Jesus!
We now sing in unison,
‘Tis precious than wine,
‘Tis mightier than grave,
O what refreshing consolations!
O what joys ineffable!
Our souls adore Thee glorified Lord!
