Jesus, Thy love shall we forget

William Mitchell • English

Primary Scripture: Luke 22:44

Verse 1

Jesus, thy love can we forget, And never bring to mind The grace that paid our hopeless debt, And bade us pardon find?

Verse 2

Shall we thy life of grief forget, Thy fasting and thy pray'r, Thy locks with mountain vapors wet, To save us from despair?

Verse 3

Gethsemane can we forget Thy struggling agony When night lay dark on Olivet, And none to watch with thee?

Verse 4

Our sorrows and our sins were laid On Thee, alone on thee; Thy precious blood our ransom paid Thine all the glory be!
