224. Oh That We Never Might Forget | 6-8s. |

|
| 1 | Oh that we never might forget | 1 Corinthians 11:24-25; Hebrews 13:12; 1 Peter 2:21; 1 Peter 4:1; Colossians 1:12; Philippians 3:14 |
| What Christ has suffered for our sake, |
| To save our souls and make us meet |
| Of all His glories to partake; |
| But keeping this in mind, press on |
| To glory and the victor's crown. |
|
| 2 | But, gracious Lord, when we reflect | 1 Peter 2:3; Galatians 1:6; Galatians 4:9; Deuteronomy 8:11-14; Deuteronomy 32:18; 2 Corinthians 11:2; 2 Timothy 2:13; Hebrews 13:8 |
| How apt to turn the eye from Thee, |
| Forget Thee, too, with sad neglect, |
| And listen to the enemy, |
| And yet to find Thee still the same— |
| 'Tis this that humbles us with shame. |
|
| 3 | Astonished at Thy feet we fall, | Ephesians 3:19; Colossians 3:11; Ephesians 1:7; Matthew 25:21; John 13:1 |
| Thy love exceeds our highest thought, |
| Henceforth be Thou our all in all, |
| Thou who our souls with blood hast bought; |
| May we henceforth more faithful prove, |
| And ne'er forget Thy ceaseless love. |
