Christ My Song - 544
Now at the Father's side - Remember me
(Horatius Bonar/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
Remember me.
1. Now at the Father's side,
on the eternal throne!
But once in infant-weakness laid
in lowly Bethlehem's manger-bed,
child of a woman born!
Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God,
Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God,
remember me,
remember me! (PDF - Midi)
2. Now in the heaven of heavens,
worshipped by angels high!
But once upon the earth beneath,
with sinful men in Nazareth,
and devils in the waste!
Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God,
Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God,
remember me,
remember me!
3. Now 'mid eternal songs,
thyself the glorious theme, –
the once derided here,
object of scoff, and taunt, and sneer,
bearing the curse for us!
Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God,
Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God,
remember me,
remember me!
Horatius Bonar, The Song of the New Creation, 1872, 80-81.
