245. On That Same Night, Lord Jesus

7,6.
by G.W. Frazer
1
On that same night, Lord Jesus,
 
When all around Thee joined
 
To cast its darkest shadow
 
Across Thy holy mind,
 
We hear Thy voice, blest Savior,
 
"This do, remember Me":
 
With joyful hearts responding,
 
We do remember Thee.
2
The depth of all Thy suffering
 
No heart could e’er conceive;
 
The cup of wrath o’erflowing
 
For us Thou didst receive;
 
And, oh! of God forsaken,
 
On the accursèd tree.
 
With grateful hearts, Lord Jesus,
 
We now remember Thee.
3
We think of all the darkness
 
Which round Thy spirit pressed,
 
Of all those waves and billows
 
Which rolled across Thy breast.
 
Oh, there Thy grace unbounded
 
And perfect love we see;
 
With joy and sorrow mingling,
 
We would remember Thee.
“And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.” (Luke 23:44)
“Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.” (Psalm 42:7)
“I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.” (Psalm 69:2)
“Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound.” (Romans 5:20)
4
We know Thee now as risen,
 
The Firstborn from the dead;
 
We see Thee now ascended,
 
The church’s glorious Head.
 
In Thee by grace accepted,
 
The heart and mind set free,
 
To think of all Thy sorrow,
 
And thus remember Thee.
“But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.” (1 Corinthians 15:20)
“And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.” (Colossians 1:18)
“Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 1:20)
“And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church.” (Ephesians 1:22)
“To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.” (Ephesians 1:6)
5
Till Thou shalt come in glory,
 
And call us hence away,
 
To rest in all the brightness
 
Of that unclouded day,
 
We show Thy death, Lord Jesus,
 
And here would seek to be
 
More to Thy death conformèd,
 
Whilst we remember Thee.
“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)
“And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain.” (2 Samuel 23:4)
“That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death.” (Philippians 3:10)
