365b. Lord Jesus, think on me

1 Lord Jesus, think on me
And purge away my sin;
From earth-born passions set me free
And make me pure within.

2 Lord Jesus, think on me,
With care and woe opprest;
Let me thy loving servant be
And taste thy promised rest.

3 Lord Jesus, think on me
Amid the battle's strife;
In all my pain and misery
Be thou my health and life.

4 Lord Jesus, think on me,
Nor let me go astray;
Through darkness and perplexity
Point out the heavenly way.

5 Lord Jesus, think on me
That, when the flood is past,
I may the eternal brightness see,
And share thy joy at last.

6 Lord Jesus, think on me,
That I may sing above
To Father, Spirit, and to thee,
The strains of praise and love.

Amen.
