Verse 1
Lord Jesus, think on me,
And purge away my sin;
From earthborn passions set me free
And make me pure within.
Verse 2
Lord Jesus, think on me,
With many a care oppressed;
Let me Thy loving servant be
And taste Thy promised rest.
Verse 3
Lord Jesus, think on me
Amid the battle’s strife;
In all my pain and misery
Be Thou my Health and Life.
Verse 4
Lord Jesus, think on me
Nor let me go astray;
Through darkness and perplexity
Point Thou the heavenly way.
Verse 5
Lord Jesus, think on me
When floods the tempest high;
When on doth rush the enemy,
O Savior, be Thou nigh!
Verse 6
Lord Jesus, think on me
That, when the flood is past,
I may Th’eternal brightness see
And share Thy joy at last.
Verse 7
Lord Jesus, think on me
That I may sing above
To Father, Spirit, and to Thee
The strains of praise and love.
