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, With care and woe oppressed;
Let me Thy loving servant be, And taste Thy promised rest.
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 I may sing above
To Father, Spirit, and to Thee, The strains of praise and love.
