Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.

If you know where to get a good photo of Pilson (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
O Savior, let me not forget
The way of life I tread is wet
With tears of deity,
With crimson stain of bloody sweat,
Wrung out my soul to free.
O Savior, let me not forget
Thine agony on Olivet,
The pangs of Calvary;
Thine heart cries rend the darkness yet,
Fraught with Thy love for me.
O Savior, let me not forget
Thy wondrous love constraineth yet
To service full and free,
To deeds that sob with Olivet,
That bleed with Calvary.
