Tree of Life! that, in the desert - Remember me
(John S. B. Monsell/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)

Remember me.

"Lord, remember me when thou
comest into thy kingdom." (Luke 23,42)

1. Tree of Life! that, in the desert
  fasting, became angels' food
for those souls which from the Garden
  disobedience did exclude;
O, if in thine hour of weakness
  I my hidden strength can see,
when thou comest in thy kingdom,
  wilt thou not remember me? PDF - Midi

2. Crowned with thorns, arrayed in purple,
  O my Saviour! how divine
art thou in thy robe of meekness
  with that bleeding brow of thine!
O, if through the scorn of others
  my poor heart can loyal be,
when thou comest in thy kingdom,
  wilt thou not remember me?

3. Saviour! when the world insults me,
  I to thee will turn instead,
see the mockers spit upon thee,
  take the reed and smite thy head;
O, if then my soul ashamèd
  for thy sake can gentle be,
when thou comest in thy kingdom,
  wilt thou not remember me?

4. Christ! the Rock from whence for thousands
  once the healing waters burst,
now my wounded dying Saviour
  crying with parched lips, "I thirst:"
O, if I, through faith, can only
  find my freshest springs in thee,
when thou comest in thy kingdom,
  wilt thou not remember me?
