Think on Me

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 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 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 thou the heavenly way.

5. Lord Jesus, think on me,
When flows the tempest high:
When on doth rush the enemy
O Saviour, be thou nigh.

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