ON THAT SAME NIGHT, LORD JESUS
1. On that same
night, Lord Jesus,
When all around
Thee joined
To cast its darkest
shadow
Across Thy holy
mind,
We hear Thy voice,
blest Savior,
"This do,
remember me,"
With grateful
hearts responding,
We do remember
Thee.
2. The depth of all
Thy suff'ring
No heart could e'er
conceive,
The cup of wrath
o'erflowing
For us Thou didst
receive;
And, oh, of God
forsaken
On the accursed
tree;
With grateful
hearts, Lord Jesus,
We now remember
Thee.
3. We think of all
the darkness
Which round Thy
spirit pressed,
Of all those waves
and billows,
Which rolled across
Thy breast
Oh, there Thy grace
unbounded
And perfect love we
see;
With joy and sorrow
mingling,
We would remember
Thee.
4. We know Thee now
as risen,
The Firstborn from
the dead;
We see Thee now
ascended,
The Church's
glorious Head.
In Thee by grace
accepted,
The heart and mind
set free
To think of all Thy
sorrow,
And thus remember
Thee.
5. Till Thou shalt
come in glory,
And call us hence
away,
To rest in all the
brightness
Of that unclouded
day,
We show Thy death,
Lord Jesus,
And here would seek
to be
More to Thy death
conformed,
While we remember
Thee.
