We bless our Savior’s name,
 
Our sins are all forgiven;
 
To suffer once to earth He came:
 
He now is crowned in heaven.
“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)

Lord, let us ne’er forget
 
Thy rich, Thy precious love;
 
Our theme of joy and wonder here,
 
Our endless song above.
“Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.” (Genesis 40:23)

Oh let Thy love constrain
 
Our souls to cleave to Thee!
 
And ever in our hearts remain
 
That word, Remember Me.
“For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead.” (2 Corinthians 5:14)

“For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread. And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord's death till he come.” (1 Corinthians 11:23-26)
