194: LORD and Saviour, we remember

by William J. Hocking (1864-1953)

1 LORD and Saviour, we remember,
In that hour of shame,
Thou to God Thyself didst render:
Praise Thy name.

2 Blessed Saviour, we remember
Thou hadst met the foe;
Yet the darkness gathered round Thee,
And the woe.

3 Holy Saviour, we remember
Bitter was Thy cry,
When, for sin by God forsaken,
Wrath was nigh.

4 Precious Saviour, we remember
Thou didst overcome;
Through Thy victory we who wandered
Are brought home.

5 Lord and Saviour, we remember
Somewhat of Thy love;
All its fulness do Thou teach us
From above.
