Classic Poem

I came from far for thee,
In love the long way down;
I left My throne for thee.
I wore a thorn-set crown.
All this I did for thee!
Wilt thou remember Me?

I bore thy sins for thee.
Wept tears of deepest woe:
I bore God's wrath for thee
To make thee white as snow.
Could love do more for thee?
Wilt thou remember Me?

I tasted death for thee.
Bore shame thy sins had wrought.
My life laid down for thee
To thee Life endless brought.
What is My death to thee?
Dost thou remember Me?

I gave Myself for thee
My all was freely given
Thy Bread of Life to be.
Thy Manna come from heaven.
All this am I to thee.
Eat and remember Me .

I drank thy cup for thee.
Thy cup of pain and tears.
My hands have filled for thee
My cup of sinless joy.
Of blessing full and free.
Drink and remember Me.
