184. Oh, Remember! Oh, Remember

P.M.
1
Oh, remember! Oh, remember!
 
At what price the Savior bought thee;
 
To redeem thee, home to bring thee,
 
From the throne He came and sought thee.
 
Glory’s splendor He surrendered,
 
Shame despising for thy prizing — 
 
Oh, remember!
2
Oh, remember! Oh, remember!
 
What that night thy sins prepared Him,
 
Deep abasement, sore amazement,
 
Not one tithe of anguish spared Him.
 
Wrath’s awaking — God’s forsaking — 
 
Thou didst earn it, He has borne it — 
 
Oh, remember!
3
Oh, remember! Oh, remember!
 
He Himself in death has given
 
To redeem thee, home to bring thee — 
 
Child of wrath — as heir of heaven.
 
From earth’s sorrow, judgment’s morrow,
 
He has drawn thee, mercy shown thee — 
 
Oh, remember!
