#185 "Reverently and Meekly Now"

I remember learning this hymn in the old Monterey Park Ward and liking it.  In the 1985 hymnal, it has a lowered key and the instrumental portion was deleted.  I kind of liked the old arrangement because it seemed more dramatic. 
The text is quite interesting because it is as if the Savior is saying/singing the words.  It is all in the first person.  Some people have a hard time with the words "with my blood that dripped like rain" but we all need to remember that the crucifixion was not pretty--it was very bloody.
I haven't scheduled this as a sacrament hymn, but only because it is a little difficult to sing and there are a couple of tricky notes in it.  I think the congregation would like it, once they were familiar with it.
