207. 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
amid the battle's strife;
in all my pain and misery
be thou my health and life.

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 this life is past,
I may eternal brightness see,
and share thy joy at last.
