Remember Me

Remember Me

Children, don’t forget me.

I will soon be gone.

I came to stay with you a while,

But now I’m moving on.

I taught you everything I could—

Gave all I have to give;

And now I’m going to the cross

To die that you may live.

Come eat a little bread with me;

Drink a little wine;

And I will live inside your hearts;

And you will live in mine.

This my body, this my blood,

I freely give for you;

Take them and remember me

Every time you do.

Remember me.

Remember me.

I am leaving now,

And you’ll no longer see

Me in your presence physically;

But by the bread and wine

Know that I live inside your hearts

And that you live in mine.
