HYMN XII.
[Jesu, suffering Deity]
Jesu, suffering Deity,
Can we help remembering Thee?
Thee, whose blood for us did flow,
Thee, who diedst to save Thy foe?
Can we help remembering Thee?
Thee, whose blood for us did flow,
Thee, who diedst to save Thy foe?
Thee, Redeemer of mankind,
Gladly now we call to mind,
Thankfully Thy grace approve,
Take the tokens of Thy love.
Gladly now we call to mind,
Thankfully Thy grace approve,
Take the tokens of Thy love.
This for Thy dear sake we do,
Here Thy bloody passion show,
Till Thou dost to judgment come,
Till Thy arms receive us home.
Here Thy bloody passion show,
224
Till Thy arms receive us home.
Then we walk in means no more;
There their sacred use is o'er,
There we see Thee face to face,
Saved eternally by grace.
There their sacred use is o'er,
There we see Thee face to face,
Saved eternally by grace.
