Tune: | SOUTHWELL |
1 Lord Jesus, think on me,
And purge away my sin;
From earthborn passions set me free,
And make me pure within.
2 Lord Jesus, think on me,
With many a care opprest;
Let me Thy loving servant be,
And taste Thy promised rest.
3 Lord Jesus, think on me
Nor let me go astray;
Through darkness and perplexity
Point Thou the heavenly way.
4 Lord Jesus, think on me
That, when the flood is past,
I may th’eternal brightness see,
And share Thy joy at last.
5 Lord Jesus, think on me
That I may sing above
To Father, Spirit, and to Thee
The strains of praise and love.
Amen.
