Text: | Lord Jesu, think on me |
Author: | Synesius |
Translator: | Allen W. Chatfield |
1 Lord Jesu, think on me;
And this poor offering,
Which I do humbly weave for Thee,
Accept, O Christ, my King.
2 Lord Jesu, think on me,
And purge away my sin:
From earthborn passions set me free,
And make me pure within.
3 Lord Jesu, think on me,
With care and woe oppressed;
Let me Thy loving servant be,
And taste Thy promised rest.
4 Lord Jesu, think on me
Amid the battle's strife:
In all my pain and misery
Be Thou my Health and Life.
5 Lord Jesu, think on me,
Nor let me go astray:
Through darkness and perplexity
Point Thou the heavenly way.
6 Lord Jesu, think on me,
When flows the tempest high:
When on doth rush the enemy,
O Saviour, be Thou nigh.
7 Lord Jesu, think on me,
That when the flood is past,
I may the Eternal Brightness see,
And share Thy joy at last.
8 Lord Jesu, think on me,
And grant me my desire,
That I, with mind and limbs set free,
May join the heavenly choir.
9 Lord Jesu, think, on me,
That I may sing above
Praise to the Father, and to Thee,
And to the Holy Dove.
