"Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits... Who redeemeth thy life from destruction " (Psalm 103:2,4). "Open thy mouth... in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction" (Proverbs 31:8). "My people have forgotten Me days without number" (Jeremiah 2:32). "Timotheus... brought us good tidings... that ye have good remembrance" (1 Thessalonians 3:6).
How
rightly do we bless the Lord
For
all His benefits He gave
Which
are remembered and explored
By
those whom Jesus died to save.
There
is a danger, nonetheless,
That
we may carelessly forget
How
much it cost the Lord to bless
Our
souls by our redemption met.
O
may we not forgetful be,
Lest
God declare to our dismay,
"My
people have forgotten Me"
When
our remembrance fades away.
O
Lord, lest we forget Your love
(A
very fearful inclination!),
Direct
our hearts to You above
With
good remembrance of salvation!
