Do This; Remember Me!

lyricist: Keith McIlwain, 2003
Composer: James Elliott, 1874

Our Lord and His dis­ci­ples

At ta­ble were as one

And Je­sus thought of the mor­row

His work here near­ly done.

With one last night to­ge­ther

They knew not what would be

But Je­sus had one fi­nal word:

Do This; Re­mem­ber Me!

Thanksgiving to the Fa­ther

An an­cient feast made new.

Christ said

This is My bo­dy

My bo­dy giv’n for you.

The ho­ly bread was brok­en

And shared with Je­sus’ plea

That His words not be for­got­ten:

Do This; Re­mem­ber Me!

He took the cup of bless­ing

The blood of Je­sus shed

That all might know for­give­ness

Received when Je­sus bled.

Salvation now avail­able

To all on bend­ed knee

Who re­pent and fol­low His com­mand:

Do This; Re­mem­ber Me!

Yes

Christ’s com­mand con­tin­ues

To all who serve His name

To go and make dis­ci­ples

That all would sing His fame.

And ga­thered at one ta­ble

His ho­ly church shall see

Our Mas­ter is still call­ing:

Do This; Re­mem­ber Me!
