Lord Jesus, think on me, And purge away my sin; From earth-born passions set me free, And make me pure within. | Lord Jesus, think on me, With care and woe opprest, Let me thy loving servant be, And taste thy promised rest. | Lord Jesus, think on me, Nor let me go astray; Through darkness and perplexity Point thou the heavenly way. | Lord Jesus, think on me, That, when the flood is past, I may the eternal brightness see, And share thy joy at last. | |
