Try to Remember

To the tune of Try to Remember, music by Harvey Schmidt and lyrics by Tom Jones.

New Lyrics Original Lyrics
Try to remember that love for our Saviour
When you were new in faith, all aglow.
Try to remember the kind of devotion
When hearts were fast to follow and grow.
Try to remember that joyous emotion
When you were cleansed from head top to toe,
Try to remember and if you remember then follow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh, so mellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain was yellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a tender and callow fellow.
Try to remember, and if you remember, then follow.
Try to remember His love that’s so tender
Upon the cross, my sin was His sorrow.
Try to remember the choice set before you, when
Dreams were kept beside your pillow.
Try to remember that joyous surrender
Rekindle that love, it’s a glowing ember.
Try to remember and if you remember then follow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
That no one wept except the willow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
That dreams were kept beside your pillow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
That love was an ember about to billow.
Try to remember, and if you remember, then follow.
Late in our lives it's so nice to remember
Without the Lord all life is hollow.
Late in our lives it's so nice to remember
God colours our lives much like the rainbow.
Late in our lives it's so nice to remember
’Thou life is so hard we know heav'n will follow.
It’s late in our lives so our hearts should remember and follow.
Deep in December, it's nice to remember,
Although you know the snow will follow.
Deep in December, it's nice to remember,
Without a hurt the heart is hollow.
Deep in December, it's nice to remember,
The fire of September that made us mellow.
Deep in December, our hearts should remember and follow.
