224. Oh That We Never Might Forget

6-8s.
by R. Viney
1
Oh that we never might forget
 
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
 
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.
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” (Hebrews 13:8)
3
Astonished at Thy feet we fall,
 
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.
“And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.” (Ephesians 3:19)
“Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.” (Colossians 3:11)
“In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.” (Ephesians 1:7)
“His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.” (Matthew 25:21)
“Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.” (John 13:1)
