“In Remembrance of Me“

WHO could refuse
The last wish of a friend?
Loving unto the end,
Fain would His love transfuse
Itself into the lives He left behind,
That in their souls Him they might always find.
"Remember Me!"
It was Christ's last request,
Unto His own addressed:
And all souls claimeth He;
Only by Him our human hearts are fed
With spiritual wine and living bread.
By One so dear
Invited, who would stay
In loneliness away?
O friends, let us draw ,tear!
For in us now His image grows too dim:
Let us forget ourselves, remembering Him!
