1 Oh hear the cry of the dying thief,
As he raised his voice in prayer;
And plead the love of his dying Lord,
In hope his free grace to share.
Refrain:
In hope his free grace to share;
In hope his free grace to share;
In hope his free grace to share.
2 'Twas faith that mov'd him and thus he pray'd,
As he hung upon the tree:
When thou shalt come in thy kingdom, then,
Lord Jesus, remember me.
Refrain:
Lord Jesus, remember me;
Lord Jesus, remember me;
Lord Jesus, remember me.
3 The Jesus answered the dying thief,
As he look'd with loving eyes:
Today I say thou shalt surely be
With me in paradise.
Refrain:
With me in paradise;
With me in paradise;
With me in paradise.
4 O, sinner, look to the bleeding Lamb,
He who died on Calvary;
That when he calls for the dying thief,
He then will remember thee.
Refrain:
He then will remember thee;
He then will remember thee;
He then will remember thee.
