Lest I Forget

Give me grace to bear my cross
and to live each day for Thee,
lest I forget the cross you bore
and died upon for me.

Help me walk each day, by faith,
with eyes fixed fast on thee,
lest I forget your unswerving course
toward a hill called Calvary.

Make me, with a steadfast hope,
see that eternal home so fair,
lest I forget and not be waiting
for your coming in the air.

Lest I forget, and let the world
my loyalties all to claim,
keep before me, Jesus, always~
There is no sweeter name.
